Are you wanting to buy new or used? What diameter and length are you looking for? For a road or mtb?

 

I've got a black 27.2x350mm that I'm not using that I would be happy to sell (I'm pretty sure it's 25mm setback - can chek on that).

 

Otherwise, if you're looking for value-for-money new 'posts, check out eBay - there is some really good stuff on there...

IMO the only set back post is a Thomson, I have found that the 16mm is better though.

Just scored a cracker deal on a Thomson Masterpiece post here on the hub.

Was also on seatpost hunt recently - but wanted a Titanium seatpost, which limited my options.

 

Here's what I found:

  • USE Alien Ti post - very nice quality, do in 0 or 10mm setback. The front of the clamp projects forward though which limited how far I could push saddle back. Have one on my Brooks audax saddle, and it's a very nice post. I also have a new/boxed one that have been considering putting on hub to sell (couldn't get my Romin saddle quite far enough back with it).
  • Van Nicholas Ti post - also nice quality, with 15mm setback. This is what I'm using now on my Romin saddle and it's very sweet. Was a total b*tch to fit though - odd clamp that took two of us to get done and numerous tools!

Only one I saw with more setback when looking was Thomson - not Ti, but 20 or 25mm mm I think
