Setback post - final question before I order parts
Hi Bike forum 
Just about ready to order everything for my build. Got fitted today at a shop by a knowledgeable guy and found out I should get a 52 bareknuckle to fit me (inseam is longer than I thought). He also suggested a set back seat post.
Finally question: This post - https://www.niagaracycle.com/product_...oducts_id=5317
is listed as Thomson Elite Seatpost 27.2 x 330mm, 10° Back Black. Although the picture shows a straight post I think this is the right one. Can anyone confirm this? Most sites list the set back thomson as "setback post" and not as "10 degree back".
Also anyone else running a setback post on their bareknuckle?

hello
Are you talking about the bent back Thomson seatpost? If so, make absolutely certain you have enough extension on that post to clear the bent portion of the post.
If I were you I'd get a standard setback post.....like the American Classic, for instance. They come in black too.
