Setback Seatpost
Hey All,
I've spent most of my day looking for seatposts (bikeforums.net / the web / online stores) that are extremely setback - 30mm or more. Everything that's affordable (<$50) seems to stop at 25mm.
So far I've come up with:
- Velo Orange Grand Cru (affordable but silver and out of stock). I'll do this if I can't find something else in black- maybe just sandblast it and paint it black?
- Nitto Wayback
Both of these only come in silver. I'm hoping for something in black. Anyone know of any black seatposts with extra setback?
as always. thank you.

FSA K-Force Lite have a 32.5mm setback post but it is well over $150.
I remember Titec made(makes?) a super setback post call El Norte Bent, not sure if you can find them anymore.

Ritchey has a 30mm setback.
The Titec I have is well over a 1.5" of setback. Was difficult to find but someone on my local forum finally caved and sold it to me.
