Hello all,
I've just recently put a Brookes B17 saddle on my road bike, as i use it to ride audax, so it's comfort not speed for me. any how the Bontrager seat post that came with the LeMond bike will not allow much forward and backward movement, and it has moved my saddle position forward.
so i was just wondering if there were any seat posts with a more sweptback clamp, so i can get more back and forth movement.
any suggestions gratefully received

Phill

    lots have some. Looks at:

    FSA K Force
    the older Easton EA70 and EC70
    Thomson layback

    check out wiggle, CRC etc. for pics

    Although really an MTB post, the Raceface X-Y is available with a lot of layback - the older model has something like 30mm offset.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I had exactly the same problem with the same saddle. I now have the FSA SL220 which has about 35mm layback. Around £35 in alloy.
