25.4 seatpost brands
i just found out today that the frame i'm looking to build up takes a 25.4 post, and i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of good brands in that size? something silver and somewhat classy is best.

If you don't mind the wieght, 25.4 is a size commonly available in chrome plate(since you mentioned vintage). I have seen relatively few aluminum ones in that size(not that they don't exist). It seems anymore 1 inch(25.4) is reserved for the lower quality bikes, since the newer stuff is usually 27.2 or larger.

The Kalloy Uno 374. Aluminum. 350mm. I have one on my Motobecane. Traditional looking and sturdy. Under twenty bucks.

I know this thread is a week old, but I found it on a search. Nashbar also has an ATB 25.4mm seatpost. I'll probably be getting this for my Centurion roadbike.
"All aluminum with an anodized black satin finish. 350mm length. 319g"

I should be able to adjust the saddle up and down with this seatpost, right?

I've got several 25.4mm seatposts. Those are common on beach crusiers.

The Thomson Elite post - imo one of the nicest on the market - is made in 25.4 in both black and silver. I just got a silver one a few months ago, and it took a little doing because, while the black is pretty readily available and QBP stocks it, not very many places carry the silver. I had to find a shop that would special order it for me through J&B Importers, and then Thomson drop-shipped it directly to the shop.

I used to have a Campagnolo Nuovo Record seat post in 25.4. They are out there.
There's a NOS Avocet on ebay right now.
