Paul Tall and Handsome Seatpost
by Paul
The Paul Tall and Handsome is built for strength, good looks and easy setup. It has a generous 26mm setback, so if you ride a Brooks saddle you can't get far enough back, this is the post for you. Machined by Paul in Chico, California.
The shaft is precision ground in-house and the head is machined separately, then screwed and permanently bonded in. Two bolts sit on spherical stainless steel washers that self-align to the cradle, so there's no slipping. Tilt the saddle roughly 15 degrees overall, with micro adjustments made by loosening one bolt and tightening the other. Works with oval carbon-railed saddles too.

Tip: pull the post every so often, clean it, and grease the inside of the seat tube so it doesn't seize.
