Long shot here, but does anyone make an aluminum seatpost with a curve similar to Moots / Eriksen? The Thomson "kink" has never done it for me.

Thanks!

VO seatpost seems to curve back

Thomson layback posts are pretty close, though the bend is sharper and not a constant radius curve.

If a single curve is good, then two curves must be better. Maybe you can find one of the old Titec Hellbent seatposts:

I guess you're trying to limit the budget compared to the mentionned titanium seatposts but I can't think of an alu seatpost that will look as good as Eriksen/Lynksey/Moots :no:

Just bought myself a Lynksey with Enve clamp with that sexy curve, 2nd hand for around 100 bucks in excellent shape

I feel like the curved ones like the VO one used to be fairly common back in the heyday of Aluminum as the high end frame material. Didn't Campy make one like that even?
