Switching saddles on my Merckx and I need a post longer than my c-record to make things work. Thinking of going with the Ritchey Classic 2-bolt... Any better options?

Nitto has a line of posts that might do the trick for you.

how long does it need to be?

if you're not wanting to spend a lot of money, soma makes a pretty nice classic looking post that has been working well for me.

Atleast 300mm. I like the nitro S83 but it seems like it out of stock everywhere...

SimWorks Beatnik by Nitto comes in 300mm and 350mm.

I bought the Ritchey after looking at all the options and its is very nice post. For the money a best buy.

Diameter?
Material?
Setback?

Here are some Nitto S-83, 27.2mm x 300mm. (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=nitto+s83&_sop=15&_osacat=58101&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xnitto+s83 +300.TRS1&_nkw=nitto+s83+300&_sacat=58101)

Nitto crystal fellow is just about the best looking seat post made.

I don't think I'm cool enough for a simworks post. They look like a rebranded s65...

I think everything they have is a rebranded something or other.

Any one of these (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=190738&highlight=seatposts) three in the classifieds would do very well.

their two bolt post is well made & offers a lot of setback.
