I'm hoping someone can recommend either a seat post or saddle (or perhaps both) that will allow me to scoot back another 10mm. I'd prefer to stay classic and Italian (so that rules out the Brooks and Fizik Arione saddles and the Thompson seatpost).

I'm using a CLB seatpost on my Masi GC (don't tell anyone!) for exactly this reason. once my butt is where my knees want it to be, I'm hanging off the back of the saddle! this ol' Masi has a 75 degree seat tube angle!
