What size post?

27.2 on the seatpost and I need at least 15cm clearance as I'm on a frame a size too small.
Haven't seen the replica saddles before. Not sure about them though. Hard to find the corresponding saddle, and still risk customs charges on delivery to the UK.

I've ordered about 65 times from china-hk-taiwan and never ever paid duties. :) seatposts-saddles-chains-handlebars-stems-headsets-qr skewers.. and never needed to open my purse when the postman arrived.
15cm out of the frame is not much at all. I ride frame exactly at my size and it has about 17cm seatpost exposed.

http://kepfeltoltes.hu/140606/szag_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg15cm is really not that much. I just never get why some people cut their SP-s for uselessly short lengths.. the most stupid thing to do, IMHO. A longer seatpost won't hurt anyone, whereas a shorter only puts more pressure onto the inner side of the seat tube and limits one's ability to adjust the seat height..

Cheers for the tip. I'll check them (China-HK-taiwan) out a bit more.
On the saddle extension depends where you measure from. After reading your comments I got out a ruler. I'm 16cm to the bottom curve on the setback seatpost or 19cm to saddle rails.
Anyone got a carbon seatpost and an old Fizik (Aliante pref) or Specialized (Toupe or Romin) saddle up for sale?
