Ok I'm a tart.. I want the max amount of seat post showing as I can...

Anyone know of a low profile saddle ie low rail height..

I've changed from a beefy San Marco, to a charge spoon which has made a good difference, but any other low notables?

Charge knife is a bit slimmer than the spoon...

I've always found selle italia to be quite low, the flite is spoon width, but you're unlikely to gain more than 2-3mm. Considered a I-beam?

Selle SLR or Spesh Toupe.

What njee20... ?

How bizarre...

But putting aesthetics ahead of performance (potentially) seems a little alien to me. YMMV.

A seatpost with two yokes holding the rails will probably appear higher too - KCNC, New Ultimate, Woodman, Extralite.

Man suggests utterly pointless change and then complains of the price... 🙄

Indeed.

If you want lots of seatpost showing, why not buy a smaller frame and a longer seatpost. Perfect solution.

Edit - TomH got it far better than me, above!
