I'm after a 25mm seatpost of roughly 12" long for my latest single speed project. It's for a 1980s peugeot if that's any help.
I've tried looking round in all the local shops but nowhere has anything.
I'm not looking to spend much on this so even if the post has a bit of rust on it I'll still take it.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks for the pointer to ebay but like I said I don't want to spend much on this, let alone £35 just for a seatpost

You might need 24.8mm, are you sure its 25mm?

The exact inner diameter of the seat tube (measured with vernier callipers) is 25.4mm but I'm assuming I need a 25mm seat post. Not sure though as there seem to be a million and one different sizes. All I know is the post I've got is about 6 inches long and I need one at least twice that length, me being a 6 foot 4 inch lanky bastard. :)

Try Decathlon, they used to do them but their website has very few products on it at the moment.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
