aluminum or steel
I probably need a longer than average seat post for a bicycle.
Many are aluminum, or aluminum alloy. Others are steel. Can aluminum alloy be as strong as steel? Man, it's steel. It's what the Pittsburgh Steelers are made of. ** What do you folks know about this? OTOH, look at this one, designed by Leonardo daVinci. https://www.amazon.com/Fenix-Cycles-...MN/ref=sr_1_20 **Or is this a plot to Stop the Steel? |

Aluminum seat posts are generally in the range of 4 or 5 times thicker than steel - so PLENTY strong particularly if they are made of a good alloy like 7005 or 6061 at T6 hardness. |

Building bicycles or bicycle components from 7075 is pretty fiddicult as MOST of them require welding. Although not IMPOSSIBLE to wels, welding 7075 is NOT something you want to weld for a stressed component like a frame - OR a seatpost!!! |
