Is this the Nitto S65 - re-make / copy?

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.

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.
