Need help on replacement parts for a LOOK KG96
I have had this bike since the early 90's. 7 speed down tube shifters...
I am looking for replace my sakae seat post (25.0) with something lighter...also want to replace system 2 stem (22.2)
Any recommendations as to sources or do you know anyone who would be selling these..
I am new so I hope this is the correct forum
Thanks,
Ken

eBay or Craigslist. Since those are somewhat hard to find parts you may have to pay quite a bit.
You could also try a "Want To Buy" listing on CL, a collector may have some parts that they want to sell off.

Yeah, those are somewhat oddball parts to find really high end versions of (especially the post.) If you had a 27.2 post you'd have about a million options.
Have you really upgraded everything else that you've gotten to the stem and seatpost? How is the rest of the bike equipped? I usually focus on important areas first like the wheelset, crank, brakes (if necessary) and of course saddle and pedals.
