Kabuki, a brand name of Bridgestone, used expandable seat posts with a wedge system. I don't know if they were 26.6. If slightly larger they could be milled down a tad. Art Link,San Antonio,TX,USA

I just bought a 56mm Peugeot PG-10 frame off of ebay. I was planning on building the bike this weekend until I realized that my frame requires an expandable wedge seat post. This is proving to be a difficult item to come by.

I have two questions. One, can anyone recommend where I could possibly track one of these seat posts down? The seat tube measures at 26.6mm. Two, is it feasible that I could make/have a custom seat post made to fit without jeopardizing the integrity of the frame?

Please let me know.

Thanks Rob
