Hi nothing is ever easy.....bought a San Marco regale with carbon rails for a new build I am planning. I need a seatpost that will take 7x9mm cf rails and apart from Ritchey posts no other manufacturers seem to cater for this size rails. Any advice appreciated. Had hoped to get 3t finishing kit originally and Ritchey will be ok just want a bit more choice if possible.

    Any seat post that clamps from above and below the rails will work. It's only when you have a side clamp mechanism you'll have bother.

    I use Ritchey posts/toppers for pretty much everything, but as mitch pointed out many other posts will work (Thomson and Easton for example).

    I used to have a 3T Dorico Ltd. seatpost and the oval carbon rails of my Toupe fitted just fine. As mitchgixer6 has said, only side clamp mechanisms will give you issues and even then you can buy different clamp heads from the manufacturers sometimes.
