hello group, i happen to be in the market for a rare campy part, maybe not the rarest. does anyone have a seat post in 26.1 he or she is willing part with? if you need any parts i happen to have all the better, but to tell the truth have not pawed through all the boxes lately and can't think of an offering at the momemt, except the Gipiemme i was gonna put on the bike, which is too big, 27.2. the seat post can be rough looking, just has to work ok. thanks, devon warner san francisco, CA, USA

Hi Devon: No such thing as a 26.1 size, AFAIK. Do you need a 26.0 or a 26.2 post, perhaps? I am sure that some 26.2 posts may measure near 26.1 mm, especially older, worn, off-brand ones, but that's not an official size. If your frame measures 26.1 inside the seat tube, you may need a 26.0 post, or the frame may needing reaming out to accept a 26.2 mm post.
