Red anodized seat post 27.2 - where are all the ano parts from 2008?

After a 27.2 seat post in anodized red. This stuff used to be everywhere, who’s got a nice Nitto one sitting in their embarrassment parts box of shame from the colourful fixie explosion era? My clown tractor is sorely disappointing in the seat post area. Obvs will pay loads for a schmancy one, but a no-name will be fine too. Needs to be about 250mm minimum above insertion limit.

Bump for the clown bike evening crew

I can't help but I approve of this thread.

Hah!

Gonna build a bullhorn lowpro next or some shit

I've often wondered where all the ano s65 posts went. If all else fails I have a red charge with lay back, but the colour is a bit meh. Positively muted by garish clown tractor standards in fact.

Will swap for large grappa next time I see ya

Sounds like a plan mate! Cheers.

My Use seatpost. Must be about 25 years old now and still used on my mountain bike.
But not for sale.

Didn't corny have some red anodised stuff back in the day?

I thought he had a bike with mismatched purple anodised components as if he was trying to replicate the colours in @Skülly ‘s avatar

Umm thanks. I think.

Isn’t that the one that snaps? The cutaways would anyway seem incongruous with my heft on top of a dead heavy bike.

Yeah but think of the AERO BENEFITS @Skülly

Ah yes. Correct.

This guy has them new

Thanks mate! Yep seen a few cheap new ones on fleabay, may well end up with one of these. Guess I just started the thread in case someone’s got a posh nitto hanging around from those days when Krazy Kolorful Fixies were all the rage.

Has this been resolved yet @Skülly

Ha! I think I might have one coming from a pal, thanks! It’ll only make me want red bars of course.

Just seen this, my miche seatpost was silver. Had red bar tape, rims, hubs, saddle and chainring bolts.
Miss those days of buying matchy matchy coloured parts. Made a build looong though..
