Seatpost

In an endless search for the correct seatpost, it has come to my attention that I need a 26.4mm silver one. Does anyone have one lying around?

Student boy! How's things. Why does it have to be silver?

[Rudolf]

What about a gold one

[joy]

don't tell me - you got an antique frame with a dodgy seatpost.....

[shane]

Hello worker man! It has to be silver because it has to fit with the colour scheme on my fixie. It's all about how it looks!

I'm afraid gold won't match it rudolf!

and nope, it was a lovely frame which takes a seatpost size that defies everything google and sheldon brown tell me about it!

You need one of these 25.4-26.4 shims

and one of these 25.4 comfy suspension seatposts

You may not go for these exact ones but you get the idea, skinny seatpost and shim to fit

[shane]

I get the idea, but a suspension seatpost is not cool, people would laugh at me...lots!
Think i'll just get my third seatpost from CRC, the joy of it. Does anyone know if there's an upcoming sale i should hang on for?

[DavidC]

Hate to break it to you Shane, they're probably laughing anyway!

I saw the pics of the bike btw, nice job. You should post them up here so we can all enjoy them.

[DavidF]

don't mind him shane. i think your bike is lovely.

[shane]

It is a very bright green i suppose. I'll throw up a picture when its properly finished, should be this weekend. Had to change to fixed gear, its annoying.

David C, I know your jealous of my youth and my green bike!

David F, thanks!
