If comfort is your goal wider tires will do a lot more than a new seatpost to smooth out the ride. I ride 28mm tires over cobblestone streets with no problems, while 23mm tires are extremely uncomfortable.

Token Mono-Q CF SP's are excellent quality. I put one on my Specialized London Langster 08 model. So cool.

Not really bad ride,but I run them at around 80 psi instead of the max.If i run then around 110/115 psi its like riding on a covered wagon.

Next time you might want to try some Conti 4 Seasons, I've found they have a very nice ride even at 115psi. They have made a world of difference in both my comfort and speed.

That Sette one looks pretty decent. It has a 2-bolt design somewhat similar to a Thomson. Real lightweight too at only 230g. I say go for it, and then write your own review later in this thread.

It's stupid to think you can tell a person's fit without seeing them on the bike, and it's even worse to think a stem of that size is outside the range of normal bike fit. Maybe time to chill on the judgements dude
