Is there a 27.2 seat post with about 40 or 50 mm setback?
Bonus if it comes in black.

OLD Easton EC70 seatpost. This link says 10mm setback. That is
wrong. Not sure it has the 40-50mm setback you want. But it has
about as much setback as you will find.

32mm setback for this FSA seatpost.

I'm not sure if I am measuring it the official way, but my (old)
Titec "HellBent" post (black...) seems to have about 50mm of
setback.

Check out the [Nitto Lugged seat post 27.2 x 250] sold by Rivendell
(rivbike.com).
It's interesting though not cheap or Black.

Cheers,

Set back: distance from intersection of seat tube centerline & seat
rail(s) to center of clamp (also along seat rail).
Much easier to show on paper versus with words. Might be difficult to
measure with your seat post!

I used to turn ~20mm setback posts into ~50mm setback posts pretty
routinely. Then I discovered Thomson posts.

Wow, only $200. I thought Rivendell could do better than that at
solving a $20 problem.

try sorting thru Universal Cycles collection.

4 years ago, I bought UC's longest, the longest I found. UH, without looking thru the rear compartment, I believe its a Ritchie with a wacko 2 bar/4 unobtainable screw mount.

I have seen tubing bent from the muff shop.....

By bending it when he hits a bump.

I did that with the stock post on my GT Avalanche back when I weighed 300lbs.
