In his discussion of bicycle fit, Peter White mentions a product called a Torque Platform which mounts between seatpost and saddle to extend fore or aft position of the saddle. Does anyone know of this product and how to obtain it? Searches turned up nothing. I tried a couple of websites that sometimes have obscure things but no luck.
Thanks,
Raymond

Torque is a make of seatpost. They do a model which bends forward to rotate you about the BB for eg Triathlon position
The old fashined clamp style seatposts can also be fitted forward of the post.

I emailed Peter White. He was kind enough to respond. Torque Platform is no longer made. Oh, well.
