Seat post replacement
Some sub-human, malicious and moronic miscreant stole my seat--saddle, post, light and all--using a hex wrench tonight, leaving the front quick-release wheel untouched. The bike is an almost-new Specialized Tricross '08.
My questions are: how hard is it to come by a post of appropriate diameter and length?
What's the least expensive yet quality way to replace them and how much should i expect to pay?
Ideally i'd like the new post to be black like the stolen one was.
Grrrrrrrrr
