zero setback/offset carbon road seatpost

Selcof makes a "straight" carbon post -- very solid, used on a couple of friends' Giant TCR's for example. In USA, Red Rose is the importer.........

I bought a Sette APX Carbon post from Pricepoint. It has zero setback and it only costs $50, which is about half of what the "name brand" carbon posts are going for. After about 500 miles it has held-up great.

Here's a link:

I've just put a carbon fiber Winwood Nico zero offset within the last 2 weeks. It's a VERY small company from MN. It's the only 27.2 MM Carbon seatpost w/zero offset that my LBS could find, not cheap at $129. Thompson aluminum's were the only other choices. I needed the zero offset to get my seat forward enough for the aero bars. The only drawback was it only came in 350mm lengths, but it is still very light @ 160gr.
