I got an adjustable setback distance, with a Saddle adapter pin, made by Brompton.
It sits clamped to the top of a common 7/8" top seatpost, and provides a horizontal 7/8" steel tube .
a saddle clip rotates all the way around, Once again Brompton supplies the Best.
the seat post itself can come from Kalloy, or RivBike brings in Nice ones from Nitto,Japan.

Velo-Orange has a 30mm setback post, not the cheapest but it is a good looking post and still pretty affordable.

Check out the Kalloy Uno model that Wallbike sells. Good setback, and a simple design. Not too pricey, either.

if you buy a VO 32mm setback grand cru seatpost, I would take a very fine metal file and deburr the edges.
I think mine cracked from high stress and metal fatigue. my saddle was quite far back on that seat post.
I would go for the kalloy uno in 30mm setback if you want one that's just cheap but decent in quality and weight.

if you can find a NOS or used one in the right diameter. It's a boat anchor but it does have massive setback.Somebody over on the CTC forum had this crazy idea
That's a mock up. He planned on welding them together.
You could also look for a Titec Hellbent Layback. 1.5" of setback. I think only the Sakae is longer.
