I noticed the restriction pertaining to recommended weight (not above 200 lbs.), so that would leave me out as well. My all-time favorite seatpost is the Nitto Jaguar NJS seatpost, which Rivendell called the "Frog" when they were selling it. I've used this seatpost on my Rivendell Road Standard from day one, and also replaced a Campagnolo Super Record seatpost with the Nitto Jaguar on another bike that I subsequently sold (a very pretty Wateford W-13).
The prices of the Jaguar seatpost are a little daunting today (I paid $75.00 back when I bought mine). They seem to be going for about $170.00 from most on-line retailers at present.
