Interested in the post, can you tell me the purpose of the lay back bend?

 

[Mark90]

Sorry for the delayed reply, I thought I got e-mail notification of replies.

The lay back is to provide a rearward offset to the seat over a straight inline post, eg to get the right reach in unison with the stem length etc. Some posts acheive this by have the seat clamp offset backwards on a straight post. Thomson achieve this by have a slight bend in the post and the seat clamp is mounted in center line of the tube.
