Ta.
Slightly cheaper than at Cycle Sense, but still a big investment.
Edit: My problem was I started looking at Futura Ergotec which covers a myriad of different seat posts.
I needed to be looking for Futura 27.2.

I have one of the awful things.......do you want to make me an offer?LittleGreyCat wrote: ↑20 Sep 2021, 6:50pmI'm looking for the Humpert Ergotec with the 45 mm layback but no luck so far.
Especially as most sites don't quote a layback.

Not prejudicing any offer, but what is the worst thing about it?
Oh, and which Ergotec?
I've realised that there are many variants/.

Re: ....the "new" Velo Orange layback seatpost?
I have tried Velo Orange Grand Cru and other similar ones that I believe all come out of the same Chinese factory and are rebadged. Didn't get on with any of them for various reasons. My best layback ones I have are my Nitto S84s and I also have a S83 which is slightly less layback. Hubjub usually have them all in stock and although expensive they are well worth the money.
There is your way. There is my way. But there is no "the way".

My post has "ergotech 4" written on it. Mounted a saddle on it, cursed it, never fitted it in a bike.

I've been away.
It may be a few days (or longer) before I get back to the seat post issue.
Just updating to say thanks for the offer and information and I'm not ignoring you.
