Setback for Brooks Saddle
I have a Ritchey Comp post on my Gunnar Sport with a 25mm setback. Is this enough setback for a Brooks B-17 to fit well?

I think it depends on several factors about your fit on different bikes. With my Brooks I use Nitto posts with setback on some bikes and a Thompson with zero setback on another bike that has a very slack seat tube angle.
On most race bikes with an aggressive rider position though I think Steve is correct and you will need a post with lots of setback. |

There are a few black and/or carbon posts around with sufficient setback. However, the only solution that gives you the classic silver look with sufficient setback is at velo orange:

Wise words. I use the same. Perhaps not bling like a Thompson, but it gives the setback... |

My personal geometry requires one less degree of STA. The fact that I use Brooks saddles requires another reduction in STA-for use with average offset post.
Some of the big offset posts are pricey or hard to locate. Butt always beware of the setback changes forced by any saddle/post combination.
