Just swapped out the saddle on my utility bike and the new saddle
won't go far enough back.

In my junk box, I see an old HellBent setback post that looks to
have the better part of 2" of setback. Seems tb just the
ticket, except it's 2.72 and the frame in question is 26.4.

Looking at Titec's web site (which I'd give a C- or D+) I can't
find anything with setback, so I'm assuming they aren't made any
more.

Thompson makes a nice post, but their angle adjustment system
doesn't have enough range to cope with Brooks' goofey rail angle.

Come to think of it, I'm not really looking for "nice" anyhow.
Uglier is better as long as it works.

Can anybody suggest alternatives?

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
