If you don't want to go cheap, your only solution is gold.

I like my saddles "dead" level. Some posts make dialing in a precise position easy, on others it can be difficult. And, I don't like a post that tends to come loose and let the saddle move. If you can find a five dollar seat post that keeps your saddle level and tight, why spend ten cents more?

Best solution. Thomson - Very adjustable, light, and durable.

I second Thomson...I have their Elite setback post, and couldn't be happier with it.

Good looks, easy to adjust precisely, and puts up with my brick road addiction...that's all I need.
