Covid-19 Update:

We’re still receiving and shipping orders, and really appreciate your support! Please be patient, as it may take a few weeks for orders to be shipped under the current manufacturing circumstances. Rest assured, we will get your parts to you as fast as we are able to, while still observing Covid-19 safety protocols - even if you don't hear from us.

International Customers: We have been seeing parcels sit in customs all over the world for up to 2 weeks with no update to the tracking information. These orders are eventually delivered, you will just have to be extra patient.

Thank you,

The PAUL Crew

Tall and Handsome

Our Tall & Handsome isn’t the lightest seatpost ever made, but we think it may be among the easiest to use, and nicest looking. 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.

$205.00 – $211.00

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.

 

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.

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
When we saw the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship an When we saw the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship announcement that all events for 2021 were cancelled due to Covid, we were crushed. Anybody who’s been to the Downieville Classic, Mountains to Meadows, or Lost and Found knows we 
LOVE supporting these events with our aid stations, and partying with some of the best bike weirdos in the world, in one of the most beautiful areas in the world.
 SBTS rely heavily on these events to help raise funds and awareness for all the amazing trails they build in the Lost Sierra, involving, employing, and assisting the local small communities in the process. It’s truly inspiring to behold the hard and meaningful work they put in, and a cause we will trumpet until we’re out of breath. 
 What can we do to help? Well, we’ve decided to offer up one of our few remaining Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Box Sets as a prize to one lucky person, chosen at random, who donates to SBTS by March 14th. Consider donating the amount you would normally spend for entry fees and this will help keep the trails and community in good shape for 2022 when we’re all back out there shredding and partying together!
How to enter:
1. Head over to the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship website and donate any amount you can afford. 
2. Forward the confirmation email you receive from SBTS to travis@paulcomp.com
That’s it! Paul will choose a winner at random after March 14th in some bizarre way, so stay tuned!
