Tall and Handsome

We designed the Tall & Handsome with strength and elegance in mind, but also to be super easy to setup and adjust. Like all PAUL components, it’s built to the highest standards for tolerance, function, reliability, and ease of use. Machined by us here in sunny Chico, California.

Product Story

The Tall & Handsome has a generous setback of 26mm. If you don’t like setback in your seatpost this might not be for you, but if you ride a Brooks saddle that you can’t get quite far enough back, you’ll love this seatpost.

The shaft is precision ground in-house and the head is machined separately before being screwed and permanently bonded into the shaft.

The two bolts sit on spherical stainless steel washers that allow them to pivot and self-align to the cradle. The clamp can be adjusted to tilt the saddle’s nose up or down with a range of roughly 15 degrees overall. Precise micro angle adjustments are made by loosening one screw and tightening the other. This also allows the use of oval carbon-railed saddles.

 

Fore and aft position is adjusted by loosening both screws an equal amount and moving the saddle. Because we use two screws, slippage is completely eliminated.

As with all aluminum seatposts, it’s a good idea to periodically pull the post out of the frame, clean it, apply a thick coat of grease inside the seat-tube of the frame, and re-install. This keeps your post/frame from corroding and seizing, which could make it very difficult to remove years down the road.

I know, it kinda sounds like a sandwich deal, but it’s actually your chance to win a fully dipped @santacruzbicycles MegaTower! When I say dipped, I mean, they should call this the ULTRATOWER, because it has all the fancy XTR and the @foxmtb boingers and the shiny @whiteind and PAUL goodies and the @reservewheels and @wildernesstrailbikes rubber, and the BEST thing it has is the ability to raise money for our family over at @sierratrails to build and maintain the trails we all love riding.

We’re so excited for this! “Introducing MADE We’re so excited for this! 
“Introducing MADE - an industry and consumer bike event with a mission to bring framebuilders, media and makers together to elevate and inspire. The show will be located in Portland, Ore., with the debut in September 2023. 

MADE is supported by industry sponsors and @echoscommunications a PR and marketing agency specializing in supporting cycling and active lifestyle clients. The show will feature events at @chriskingbuzz, @speedvagen and @breadwinnercycles, and the outdoor format creates opportunities for consumer demos and industry rides. Registration for MADE will open this September with confirmations already in place from @mootscycles, The Pro’s Closet Museum, @bicyclingmag, @paulcomponent, @mosaiccycles, @bikeflights, @schonstudio, Speedvagen, @stinnerframeworks, @abbeybiketools, Chris King, @argonautcycles, Breadwinner Cycles, WZRD Bikes, Retrotec, @btchn.bikes, Falconer Cycles, @sierratrails, @tomii_cycles, Frontier Bikes, Bender Bikes, @monebikes, @oddity_cycles and many more.

“MADE is the next evolution of handmade consumer and trade events, creating a format that is inclusive, exciting and supportive,” states Billy Sinkford, VP, ECHOS. “The event will celebrate and support framebuilders and the culture that surrounds them, and our collective goal is to bring awareness to this segment of the industry. To that end, we will be offering free booth space to all builders for the inaugural 2023 year.”

Registration for the 2023 show will open in the Fall of 2022. In a new model, framebuilders will be provided booth space to offset the cost of exhibiting and make attending as easy as possible. In addition, MADE sponsor BikeFlights plans to offset and subsidize shipping of bikes for all exhibiting framebuilders.”
