One of my customers is over 7’ tall and rides a massive custom Roberts, I’m 5’9” and his saddle reaches my armpit. A few months back his Thompson seatpost snapped on him and he hit the ground really hard. After that I got him a BBB seatpost and got a friend to bond a steel liner inside it. Ok, it doubled the weigh but it ain’t gonna break now...
Right at the base, just above the clamp. He’s a big man, so it probably wasn’t the best choice of post. He’s now on his second reinforced post because the first one was stolen
