Jerry < I just purchased a straight seat post for an old French bike from Quality Bicycle Proucts, your dealer can get these for you. I'm sure other distributors such as Wilson, Downeast, United, J&B would also have them. They range in size from 25.4 to 27.2 Seems to me they have shims also made
by Problem Solvers.
Hope this helps.
