which cheap post?
I nead a cheap 26.0 seat post...preferably in black.
Any opinions on these options?
Kalloy- https://www.niagaracycle.com/product_...ucts_id=417991
Kalloy Uno - https://www.niagaracycle.com/product_...ucts_id=418035
Promax Alloy - https://www.niagaracycle.com/product_...oducts_id=3481 and
https://www.amazon.com/Promax-Black-A.../dp/B0027EF160
I would have bought the promax as the amazon reviews seem fine but niagara was out of 26.0 when I made my order. I can either order it from amazon and pay a bit more + shipping or I can pick one of these other posts. To me, the first one looks bad...I like the promax and the kalloy uno (but the promax has a much nicer graphic...discreet and in the back rather than side).
Any suggestion would be great, I don't have to order it from niagara and it does not have to be one of these options...I just don't want to spend much money on it...and it should be black

They're all generic $15 posts. The first one actually has a fairly nice finish on it in person.

I doesn't appear to have angle adjust though...I guess checking nearby might be worth a try too (since I couldn't get the promax cheap from niagara)

I like the design of the first one the best , seems that it would lock better, matbe because I'm more familiar with it's basic design. The other two are OK too. All are priced fair to slightly below average from what little I remember and from another 2 stores.
None are a bad choice.

The first two seem to provide more set-back which I personally find is a plus. I've been going for set-back lately, if I run out of room sliding the saddle to and fro, it's more often that I find that I can use more room going back, moreso than feeling the need to be more forward.
