  • Update: I have slammed my stem and pushed my saddle as far back as it can go and it feels loads better. My set back seat post should arrive tomorrow so I'll put some miles in and see how it feels.

    Most people on road and track bicycles need a setback seatpost--- even on frames with slack angles such as Merck's Century geometry. The fashion for straight seatposts, I think, came from MTB.
    Good seatpins are the Nitto SP72, metal Campa Record (the Record Ti is still a favorite), Selcof, old Dura Ace,.... Modern? Deda Zero-100 and even Metal Stick are very good... I've never used a VanNichols but their Ti post seems a familiar design and the price reasonable...
    Carbon.. The only Carbon seatpin I consider is the Ergopost 4.. but that's because its got such massive adjustability..
    Low price.. Kalloy.. Crude but strong and cheap as yesterday's chips..
