Wanted: Nitto seatpost 27.0

Looking for a good condition / mint Nitto seatpost in 27 dead.

Cheers.

Me too. Sadly it seems that they are all 27.2 (pretty much njs standard it seems)
You don't happen to have a Bridgestone too do you Andrew?

Someone kindly offered me access to a lathe which I can use to trim it down to 27.
I will do that just as soon as I can actually afford to pay £60 for a seatpost.

HI Brain-flick.
It's a pain isn't it.
I ride a white Fred Williams.

I've just got in contact with a shop in the states who are giving me a quote on one... maybe we could share postage... thought I'd try here first before the whole shipping ball-ache.

:>)

Watch out for customs. Ask the seller to declare it as a gift.

I used to own a bridgestone.
Go to a frame builder/ lbs and ask them to increase the diameter of the seat tube.
Mine was done at Kalavinka- where I picked up the frame- so no help there.
hope that helps!

There a guy in the forum who lives in Japan, pete, he offered to send stuff over - nitto s65 posts 27.0 are bout £30 (£40 inc postage) - he'll look you up.

If it makes anyone feel any better, Slamm had a nitto sp72 in 27.0 for sale - i bought it from him. I will not sell....(smug)

Hmmm.
That would be great... How tight are the tolerances on steel?
Anyone know of somewhere in town i could get the seat-tube opened up?

me, me! im famous!

i can order a nitto 27.0 from the lbs, but it will be a week or 2 before its in stock (allready waiting for 1 for someone else)

there you are, thats pete

Join the club, I'm still waiting! Any news Pete?

Thanks, Graham

Eyebrows, was that the Bridgestone you sold me? Because it would not take a 27.2 when I tried, ended up getting a Gipiemme 27 off t.o. off here.

If it's not too much, get one here. $99

hmmm.... that's interesting.
I remember them reaming it- may be they went from 26.8 to 27.0 or something
I just remember them saying 'we'll make it so it fits a more normal size'
I'll have to check the seatpost I have....
(not nitto)
