I was hoping that offsetting the seat all the way back would do the trick. For 10 years I used a Thompson Masterpiece with no built-in offset and maintained a good position over the pedals. The design of the Tune Cappy limits the amount of offset because the upper seat rail jaws are significantly outside of the lower support for the rails. Honestly, I did not expect a 3/4" (2cm) difference.

The Tune Cappy is a splendid part. I waited 2-3 months for it to become available at Fairwheel. It saddened me to return it.

I've just gone thru the same search for an upgrade over the Ritchey Stubby that came stock on my Cento Uno. See thread on FairwheelBike forum on it: http://fairwheelbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8183

I just ordered the Woodman IT seat mast topper w/25mm setback for $120 from http://www.twohubs.com/p-375-woodman-integrated-seatpost-it-series.aspx. I'll post a review when I get it on the bike in several weeks.

The Woodman company site is: http://www.woodmancomponents.com/Web/Company.asp?Lng=ENbut offers little detail...

Fortunately, the ISP movement appears to have been an evolutionary dead-end and this topic is less important than it once was.

I was wondering if some members have cut their ISP and used a standard seatpost and clamp instead, with weight savings at the end ....?

Frankly, if adjustability is not an issue, I truly believe ISP is a superior design. For people who know their fit, there really isn't any need to adjust for more than 10mm.

Sorry for grave digging a bit but I am looking to find out if anyone has used a regular seatpost and clamp instead of a mast topper? It seems that type of question has been asked a few times but with no answer. Is anyone with an integrated seatmast using a regular post? I cant see any problems with doing it but would like some real world confirmation and pics of course!

Researching isp options. Somewhere on the site is a photo of a a seat mast with an internal post, but with a custom spacer. Very clean lines. Anyone know which combo I'm talking about? I've searched for ages but can't find it. It's not the BmanX/English/Thomson one. Though similar.
Any help appreciated.
