Anyone know of a nice looking silver seatpost around 40-50 bucks? I know there's thomson and ritchey classic for 70+ and Kalloy and other cheapies for 25 and under. I've also looked at the Velo Orange seatpost but I don't really want so much setback. Miche makes a weird lookin seatpost I like, but that's even more money. Where are the decent middle of the road priced seatposts?
If you need a 27.2mm part and have at least a fist full of seat post exposed but not one of those new fangled sloping-top-tube bikes get yourself a mid-1990s 220mm Campagnolo Chorus post using the C-Record aero forging.
The C-Record aero post is the sexiest vintage post made and the Chorus part is the same except no Campy shields etched in the sides mean it's not "Record" and therefore less valuable as a collectable.
