If it's an aerospace frame, typically that's 26.8mm in diameter. Something like this would do nicely: 26.8 mm seatpostHave fun! Frank |

Wow! Something like that would certainly 'do nicely'. SR Laprade posts can often be found somewhat cheaper and were often used by Viscount.
But 26.8mm is right for Aerospace frames.

Well, I understand, but every bike ought to have at least one Campy component on it. Mine has DT shifters, which, I admit were quite a bit more affordable. Anyway, it was just a suggestion...  Frank |

So , is the 600 ex an aerospace frame ? Yes. But have you checked the seat pin you have in it now? They usually have the dia stamped on. |

I don't think its anywhere near the correct size as the slot in the tube where the bolt goes through is completely closed , I'm sure this is not correct .

I tried to get the seat post out of my 600ex on Saturday, only to find it is stuck. This is despite use of grease whenever I took it out. But obviously I haven't done that for a long time. Good to know anyway, now I can try to free it and confirm that it is 26.8mm I also had a look in the shed for 26.8mm posts and I've got two or three Viscount ones - but I'm guessing you wouldn't want one of those - and one SR one that is quite nice - aero so you go faster. However, it's not particularly long. Have you an idea of what length you need? I am going to Bognor every weekend because my mother is in hospital in Chichester so I could easily meet you to hand it over, if it's suitable.

I brought my digital caliper home to measure what I have and it's not as small as I thought 26.6 .

I got one of the Kalloy posts from this page for my Sport: hilarystone.com/seatposts.htmlIt's not proper old-school with the seat guts but a nice light tube in a range of sizes and not very expensive. |
