I don't think so

Someone said Ritchey did a perfect copy somewhere.
I really need the setback but not the price of the S65

Ritchey used to have seatposts made by Nitto. Long time ago.

 

[Spankyfart]

Yeah, found it. Should have goggled before.
It's the Ritchey Nitto Force.

No way at all.

I have a Fuji branded post very similar to that Ritchey, which errrrmmm not much of surprise considering what Ritchey does.

Kalloy make a seatpost similar to the s65

And Generalized too.

Best S65 copy and functional enough is a Kalloy IMHO.

I have several of those. They are fine as long as you torque down the saddle clamp bolt enough. Looks classic

Yeah, I think I found the Kalloy Uno 602 and it has a tad less setback.
Then again it was 15 euro or something.
