Got a sexy 26.6 seatpost?

Posted on
  • Are there ANY sexy 26.6 seatposts to be had? Eh?
    For a 1960's Claud Butler Tourer grouped with Shimano 600 Arabesque but I've only got a dirty old Strong post with slanting rails on it which just looks wrong.
    Is there a nice, curvy, shiny steel or ali post anywhere? I've looked in all the usual places; Hilary's got a Campy Athena and Chorus but 35 squid!
    Anybody?

  • one of the 80's campag aero's is probably all that came in the weird sizes, and unfortunatly, the weirder the size, the heavier the weird tax :/

    Just got a post from hilary, but despite being 104% sure it was the right size, its miles too small, won't even clamp.
    I'm wondering if some manufacturers 27.2 is not the same as another 27.2 (as one will simply not fit, the other wobbles hopelessly inside).

  • Yup me too. Tried a Kalloy ritchie, too big. I'm tempted by Hilary's campags but trying to find cheaper just in case it won't fit again. I thought it might be my calipers but I've tried two different types so def 26.6
    I'm considering shimming the post collar slightly to give me more choice. I've got a deburring tool if you need to borrow.
