Hey all,

In the past few days I've been looking to buy a new seatpost, mine is just too heavy and doesnt absorb enough of the road. I've found the Burrows aero seatposts on ebay, and I've wanted to pick one up, but I don't think they have my size at all. Can anyone explain or point me to a site that would explain the different sizes of these seatposts? Also, if anyone has a resource where I could buy one, that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance.

I hope this will be of some help. The only thing I can think is from a http://www.nashbar.com catalog. I believe they sell aero seatposts & you have to measure from the top of the seatpost collar to the saddle rails. Of course this is done on your current bike. I'm assuming you have a round seatpost like
most,if not all standard seatposts. The measurement you take determines how long the actual aero shape of the post you can have on your current setup. I'm also assuming the seatpost you're interested in is what I'm thinking it to be. That being a seatpost that is round to (fit into your seat post tube), then it transforms into the aero shape. I hope this made sense to you.
