Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not too offset seat post

Current seatpost has offset of 25mm - anybody know of seatposts with 10-15 mm offsets?

what i do when I don't know all the available brands of a particular component is run through the links on Weight Weenies. This obviously doesn't give you every brand, but it's a good start

I'm also looking for a not-too-expensive post with little off-set, and so far I've come up with some of the Eastons and the BBBs

Current post is an Easton EC70 with 24 or 25mm offset. Thomson makes an aluminum post with about half that (I've since discovered) and Flyte (formerly Airborne) makes a Ti post with about 10mm offset.
