Reversible Seatposts?
I'm trying to find my ideal position on a new Fuji Aloha. In order to do some experimentation on fore-aft positioning, I'm trying to find a seatpost that is reversible, and, that is affordable. To be clear, I'm looking for a post with a ~20mm "setback" that has sufficient angle adjustment to be used setback or reversed so that it places the saddle closer to the bars. I've seen a couple that look excellent (Fizik Cyrano, Thompson Elite), but are in the USD 100+ range. I'm looking for a cheap alloy post to experiment with (Kalloy, Easton EA30/EA50 range), not a Profile Design Carbon Fast Forward for competition. [27.2mm w/ standard rails, in case it matters.]
Thanks.
Thanks.

What you may be able to use is one of those old "el cheapo" posts, like you see on Kmart Special bikes. (The one with the clamp that has a bolt tightened by two nuts on either side of the clamp & saddle rails . . . guess there's a name for them.) With the bolts loosened a bit, just rotate it to face fore or aft.

Get a Plain Tube seat post , ala Kalloy, and a separate saddle Clip. you can put them on Backwards or Forwards ..
Brompton Penta Clip Is the Best .. saddle clip .. I have them .. On my Brompton.
Profile for speed made a saddle ahead seat post when Triathletes thought it made their Bike to Run transitions Better.
