Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Sexy non-offset seatposts?

Simple question. I know there's the Thompson, but who else makes an aesthetically-pleasing non-offset seatpost in 27.2? Silver or black, road or mtn, doesn't matter.

I really dig the ti post matt brown is rocking, but I don't know what kind it is.

Thomson is the mad-illest!@

yeah, i just got a thomson and im in love.

Ummmm...ok, I'll shut up.

Ummmm...ok, I'll shut up.

Uh, what?

Although exhorbitantly expensive, I'm a big fan of the Tune design for non-offset posts:

I seem to recall other manufacturers using this design, but couldn't find anything off the bat. I'll post (pun intended) if I find anything.

Uh, what?

Sorry, I was being a dick. Sort of referencing my seatpost.

Ummmm...ok, I'll shut up.

i was going to mention a custom vanilla carbon/steel lugged seatpost, but i guess you beat me to it.

Damn you and your good taste.

The older logo was better though.

an old ringle moby (http://www.bikepro.com/products/seatposts/ringle.html) seatpost would really add some pizazz to your bike.

Ah. Here's a pic Jim-Bob posted in another thread.

Those seatposts are kinda nice and all. But what bugs me is the glued nature of carbon posts and the pricey as shiat nature of a lot of the one piecers.

Well not necessarily very sexy, the Kalloy Guizzo seat post is the absolute best bang for the buck. 45 dollars for a one piece (no glued head onto the shaft) 2 bolt seatpost design.

The Post Moderne Smica seatpost is a cheaper option - look for it on Wiggle (UK webshop) and you will see that it has good reviews. Here is a link but it doesn't go straight to the right post http://www.wiggle.co.uk/Default.aspx?Main=Manufacturer.aspx&W=0&Cat=cycle&Manufacturer=Post%20Moderne&CategoryName=Seat%20Posts

I've got the older version with nastier logos, but I took them off and now it looks good and does the job.

from that link for the Ringle:


. It is available in most the RingleŽ colors; Blue, Black, pewter Grey, 3DV Lavender, Red, Silver and Tie-Die.

How 'bout this? http://www.bike-x-perts.com/en/product_info.php/products_id/127194/

It looks way better than that in life (and other pics). One-piece, sexy as it gets, and mine actually weighs ~180-190 g at 350 mm, way less than the official figure. (The company is German, though...)

As to the original question: no idea. (Helpful, ain't I?)

The Miche Supertype (only a touch of set-back):

Doesn't get any sexier. Only 86 grams. Price? 220 pounds.

It's normal setback -- if you have one, you'll notice that the way the seatpost curves is actually the same as any normal setback.

Ah-ha. I thought AX Lightness used a similar design as the Tune. Come to think... so does M2Racer.

Not that it really helps ;)

EDIT: If you can find them on eBay, old Kooka and some IRD posts are similar.

How do the shirts fit? Lets see some pix!

i think the moots seatposts are kinda cute

that moots seatpost is awesome.

I have a Mavic seatpost with no setback.

yeh i think matt brown has a moots.

i love that moots post, so smooooth, it just looks silky

Kinda ugly, but it is in fact, a very very comfortable post. I thought it was hokey at first, but it really does absorb high frequency vibrations. I use it on my roadbike. The fix doesn't get any carbon.

^ that's setback

then flip the ***** around!

then flip the ***** around!
Oh snap! He's pissed now.

moots=sweet

Okay folks, more importantly, let's find a 26.4 seat post with no offset.

an old ringle moby (http://www.bikepro.com/products/seatposts/ringle.html) seatpost would really add some pizazz to your bike.

i'll sell you mine, i don't really like it... never really tightens well enough to not shift the seat angle on a big bump

Sounds like American Classic syndrome.

i like my american classic post! but mine has the set bolt for the seat angle adjustment...and it's on my road bike...

only if it's purple, and will fit in my ibis frame.
