Seatpost with great deal of setback

[weisan]

I never expect myself to be asking this question because I usually go for zero setback...anyway, I am seeking the wisdom and the knowledge of this community for recommendation on seat posts that offer more than normal range of setback (>20mm).

VeloOrange makes a very pretty one. http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/seatposts/vo-grand-cru-seat-post-long-setback-1652.html

I have one I am not using, in very good shape. PM me if you want it.

A second on the Velo Orange seatpost. Nicely made, 32mm setback. Eastons are also on the higher end of setback.

The fore-aft position changes with the seat angle, and vice-versa. Kind of a pain.

It's a 2-bolt seatpost. I never had that problem with mine. One bolt seatposts yes.

This is what I use. Wish it was a bit lighter, but works great.

Ultegra 6600 is my prefered. It sits upon both my drop bar bikes.

Tien-pal, I reckon you are talking about the MX leader... let me think.... er......not in this lifetime, sorry!
:D

The mx actually fits me really well.

The seat post I am needing is for this:

The 28.0 colnago seatposts come with a super small rail clamp piece, you can do like 4 cm of seat back in those, i know is a 28.0... the good news is that sometimes you can find them in 27.2 too.

Specialized Alias. Just what you need.

Ah, the age old Brooks saddle issue. If you're on a budget look for a used (no longer made) Easton EA70 (aluminum) or EC70 (CF) seatpost. Advertised at 15mm setback (I think) they actually run closer to 25-30mm.
