Bitchen news from Chico, California, as Paul Components releases a new seatpost. Hold on, dont fret, Pauls world-famous Tall & Handsome seatpost isnt going anywhere. But, if youre looking for a seatpost with less setback than the Tall & Handsome, then Pauls new Tall & Elegant Seatpost might be your huckleberry.(Photos / Paul Components)Heres the deal The Brooks B17 saddle has been in production and remains virtually unchanged since the 1880s. So, its not really a surprise that it doesnt always play well with modern seatposts. Well, Paul Price (the Paul in Paul components) loves the Brooks B17. So, a while ago, he decided to make a seat post that would have enough setback to accommodate the B17s painfully short seat rails. Thus, the birth of Pauls Tall & Handsome seatpostBlackSilverThe Original Tall & Handsome has a whopping 26mm of setback and is the perfect post to run a B17 without issue. I personally love the Brooks B17, and have owned many Tall & Handsome posts over the years.The Tall & Elegant SeatpostThe Tall & Elegant Seatpost came to fruition after listening to their customers requests. Customers wanted the same post, with the same design and attention to detail as the Tall & Handsome, but without the 26mm setback. The Tall & Elegant maintains the brands famous focus on practical adjustability and durability while offering a straight mounting position. The design centers around user-friendly adjustability. The two adjustment bolts are spaced far enough apart to make it easy to use standard multi-tools for trailside adjustments or torque wrenches in the shop. The dual-bolt system prevents saddle rail slippage, while spherical stainless steel washers allow the bolt heads to pivot and self-align to the saddle cradle. The top clamp incorporates two brass trunnions that reduce friction and prevent binding during angle changes. This makes for nice, smooth tilt adjustments.Fore and aft saddle adjustment is easily done by loosening both screws equally. There is also approximately 15-degrees of tilt adjustment range as well. And if you need to micro-adjust, the rider simply loosens one bolt while tightening the other. The new Tall & Elegant also accomodates carbon railed saddles.
