Wanted: 26.8 Seatpost

Posted on
  • To replace a disgusting modern kalloy one currently sitting in a project which is almost done and frankly deserves better!

    Ideally campagnolo but not too fussed.

    Thanks!

  • I have one going for cheap, though may be not as nice as you're after:
    http://www.lfgss.com/thread75456.html

  • I have a nice gipiemme flitted! Nice condition!
    £10 posted

  • I have a silver Thomson one, almost new. £40. Cheers, Tom

  • i have a ritchey comp 2 bolt black 350mm you can have for £10 if joggers silver one is long enough

  • If you're sorted George, I'd also like one for this.. 70's fluted and italian/european preferred.. ;)

  • Ok, just got confirmed George is sorted, which leaves me too hijack this thread without feelings of guilt..

    Anyway, a 26.8mm Italian (preferebly) or at least European, '70's/early 80's fluted seatpost.. For the Aussie frame above which I'm going to build cult Ofmega.. Crank/headset is in the bag.. Wheels possibly.. Could you help me with a seatpin? Ofmega didn't make seatposts, so looking for Gipiemme, San Marco, etc.. I'm trying to avoid Campagnolo, since I already am building a project with 70's Campag, but if that's the way the cookie 'll crumble..

    Cheers!

    Oh, and if you'ld also happen to have a '70s saddle..;)

  • I'll bump this again.. Prettyplease?

  • SR Laprade no good?

  • I have an aero model by campagnolo (130 mm leght, too short) and a Cantaur (350 mm, too long)

  • Hilly Ben, I considered those, since they're pretty common available in 26.8 and pretty nice in the flesh.. Thing is, I don't even have the frame yet, so the time to look for what I exactly want.. I have other 26.8 seatposts, and one even comes with the frame, so I'll be able to ride anyway..

    rodarueda, thanks but fluted and non-Campagnolo preferred.. As said, I have seatposts as stopgap, I am looking specifically for as described..

    Cheers though lads!

  • Tuesday bump.. :)

  • Update: the frame is on the way thanks to the very kind benjybars.. So.. Anyone? :)

  • Cinelli Unicanitor, maybe?

  • ^Thanks Peter, but Ferdi oldcampy has sorted me with a very nice 3ttt one..
    Looks like this, I now see that's DC's photostream, so what a small world.. Not an SL though, but the pattern is the same.. Form is like an Unicanitor.. I immediatly fell for it, really suits the non usual suspects approach I'm having with this project..

    You wouldn't happen to have a seatpost would you? ;)

  • I have a 26.8 SR Laprade in VGC, silver, fluted, came off my Nishiki. Or you can have the one that's in it right now:

  • not sure what brand that is though, will have to check this evening

  • for anyone wanting to post in this thread:
    got three spare alloys, one is sr japan 26.8, fluted, got one kalloy, 26.6 fluted,
    one unfluted 26.8.
    a fiver each. N1 pickup.
    time to get rid of surpluses.
