26.4mm seatpost with 40-50mm setback?
In a vain attempt to get my slightly too small 56cm Bridgestone Eurasia to be a little more comfortable to ride, does anyone know if a 26.4 seatpost with a setback more than the current Sakae/Ringyo (SR) Custom-P3 with a setback of 30mm VeloBase.com - Component: Sakae/Ringyo (SR) Custom-P3 (Melt Forging) exists?
The next trouble would be tracking one down here in Cambodia!
It currently has a Brooks B17 Special on it and I can't bet it back the 15-20mm I need.

The mid-1980s SR MTE seat post was available in 26.4mm diameter and had 50mm of fore aft adjustment.

A selle anatomica saddle has longer rails than a Brooks. I've been moving towards using selle anatomicas for that reason although I like them without the cut out.

...it's a lot easier to track down a longer stem and move the bar forward.

Maybe try searching on "layback" or "lay-back" or "lay back" instead of setback. I think that'll bring up modern-manufacture (if not top quality) BMX-style (speaking of wheelies) posts with larger offsets like you're talking about.

Now I ride narrower Brooks saddles, and wouldn't you know it, I have room to adjust either way.

I also run a front rack and rando bag which a longer stem would mess up.
