Velo Orange Grand Cru Seatpost

A long setback seatpost is designed to move your saddle further behind the bottom bracket, which is often necessary if you have a longer femur length or prefer a more rearward position. It is particularly helpful for riders using leather saddles, which often have shorter rail lengths that limit how far back you can slide them on a standard post.

The internal ovalization removes excess material from the inside of the tube where it is not structurally needed, reducing weight without sacrificing strength. This allows the post to remain lightweight at 301g while still being robust enough for long-distance riding.

While it requires a bit more patience than a single-bolt design, the two-bolt system is widely considered the gold standard for precision. It allows you to independently adjust the saddle angle and fore/aft position, ensuring you can dial in your fit exactly where you need it.

This seatpost is primarily designed for standard metal saddle rails. If you are using a saddle with carbon rails, you should verify that the clamp mechanism is compatible, as carbon rails often require specific clamping surfaces to prevent damage.

The Grand Cru Long Setback Seatpost is constructed from high-quality aluminum. This material choice balances durability, weight, and a classic aesthetic that pairs well with both vintage and modern steel frames.
