Good/decent seatpost $20 and under?
I'm in the hunt for a seatpost (preferably black) $20 and under for my Kilo. I saw a "Kalloy" brand on Amazon with 5/5 stars for around $14; any additional input about them? Build quality, durability, not so much about weight but I'd consider it. A seatpost is just a seatpost to me honestly; something to keep me on my bike while I ride it. 
I don't want something too fancy anyway, just something simple.
Thanks for opinions ahead of time.

kalloy make most heavy cheap seatposts.
they're heavy as balls but i also don't think you have to worry about them breaking.
get one with two bolts. i liked my xlc one just fine.

The XLC doesn't have a saddle clamp does it? Unless you could buy one that's already on it, other than that, you'd probably have to just get the clamp separately right? Yeah, I read reviews about the kalloy being heavy, but anything around 2-5lbs is fine with me.

Kalloy sp248 is pretty good. There are no notches to limit the angle adjustment of the saddle. Plus, they look good unlike other posts at the same price range

So I could adjust the angle for the SP248? Looks like I'm headed there right now.
