Ugliest modern post? Thomson Set back. Honestly, who ever thought that a bent pipe was cool?
I think the large headtube works if the fork is a "unicorn" fork, and when the bike is a cross or gravel bike.

I think the set-back Thompson seat posts make a bike look faster.....almost as if the speed of the bike is causing the seat post to bend.
