Seatposts don't get much simpler than a straight tube with a two-bolt head, and the Ritchey Classic Zero executes that simplicity with the kind of attention to detail that justifies the price over generic alternatives. The 7075 aluminum construction uses a harder alloy than the 6061 found in budget posts, which translates to better resistance against saddle rail wear and clamp deformation over time. Zero setback means your saddle sits directly over the post centerline—if you're already positioned where you want to be on your current setup, this maintains that relationship without pushing you forward or back.

The two-bolt WCS alloy clamp head provides independent angle adjustment for the nose and tail of your saddle, letting you dial in tilt without the frustrating slip-and-readjust dance that single-bolt designs sometimes require. Ritchey machines the clamp interface to work with both 7x7mm round rails and 7x9mm oval rails, covering the vast majority of saddles on the market including their own WCS and Classic models. The polished silver finish matches vintage-inspired builds and pairs naturally with quill stems, silver cranks, and traditional aesthetics.

Four diameter options cover the common sizes you'll encounter on road frames: 27.2mm fits most steel and titanium frames plus older aluminum designs, while 30.9mm and 31.6mm handle modern aluminum and carbon frames. The 350mm length gives you plenty of adjustment range without excessive material hanging below your frame's minimum insertion mark—you can always cut it down if needed, but starting with adequate length keeps your options open....
