After searching everywhere for one of these in stock, and finally finding one, I decided to change bikes. Anyhow, rather than send it back, I thought I'd see if anyone here was also searching for one. I unwrapped it, but haven't put it on a bike, so it's brand new. Since I'll have to eat the shipping if I send it back, I'll pass that along. $45 shipped in the US.

A good solution if you're looking for a bit more setback. I like the looks of the 2-bolt mounting head.

Do you know how much setback it is? I'm looking for one that's about 35mm...

If it's close, I might be interested...

According to their site it's 30.2 mm. Rivendell bikes has one with more, but it was $200. I decided that was too much for the bike in question. Then I decided to switch bikes entirely. Click on the link in my first post for specifics. I found a lot of folks on forums that use them on Surlys or tandems to accomodate Brooks saddles.
