Can anyone reccomend a flippable seat post?

Bike i have i cannot move the seat far enough forward (long top tube) and the post that is on is cannot rotate the saddle enough to be flat when flipped.

I have ordered one of these off ebay for £10(from sjs ebay shop) that sits on top of your seat tube and adds up to 4 cm (obviously you drop the seat a bit)

    I don't like the first solution because it looks like a bodge to me. Can't think of anything really wrong with it but I'd be worried I had the wrong size frame.
    I wouldn't have thought the Ex post would make much difference as I think the angle of the seat post would prohibit simply turning the post round so that the set back was at the front.

    Have you tried a straight seat post instead of a set back one (as in the wiggle url?)

    Would probably make 1-2 cm worth of difference compared to a set back one. I am guessing that you are pretty close to being in the correct position with your current seat post.
