Mike,

Have your bike shop order a new one from Seattle Bike Supply (a wholesaler). Kalloy makes them... They are long - mtb size - but you can cut them off. You can polish, too, and if you have a lathe, you can get one that is a bit larger in diameter and make it a bit lighter. If only a fistful of seatpost is showing, you don't need as much wall thickness as you do for a whole foot exposed. But they can be used as is, too.

If you want an NOS alloy Simplex seatpost in 26.6 (no badge), contact me. -- Jan Heine, Seattle Editor/Publisher Vintage Bicycle Quarterly http://www.mindspring.com/~heine/bikesite/bikesite/
