$152.00 winning bid? Man, I have several of those, in assorted sizes in like new condition........

Maybe I need to list some!

I have that same post on my Giordana. It's really nice. I also like the DAs a lot. I have a fluted one on my Raleigh. I think I paid $28 (has a couple nicks in it) for the DA on ebay.

If you're talking 80's 3ttt, forget it. They are absolute rubbish.

Kalloy Uno, avail from from Velo-Orange at $22, perhaps?.

Cuda, I've had one of these particular QBP-distributed Kalloy posts before in 26.6, and it is unquestionably my favorite post currently in the aftermarket - beautifully finished and really sharp looking, particularly when on the bike.

Do you know of any dealer who might have them in 26.4 and 27.2? I'd love to put one on my Raleigh Alyeska (which will probably end up being a Campagnolo/Suntour/Mafac - yes, I said Mafac - mix) to replace it's nicked-up 26.4 SR LaStinkum post. As my mom has taken to riding my '87 Basso, I'd like to have one of these posts that can be inserted into the frame at least an inch from the top - which is not possible with the Campag aero posts, and for that matter, the Campag post is too short for me.

Sheesh, cuda2k, my wife gets mad at the $50 a month mark. Everything I buy is 20% - 90% plus coupons or off craigslist.

Kurt - both aebike.com and airbomb.com has them in 27.2. Don't see them listed in the smaller diameter.

https://www.cambriabike.com/ has Kalloy posts in just about any size black and silver

As mentioned earlier I won the auction on a Shimano 600 seatpost. NOS condition, and to much to my surprise and approval this particular one doesn't have the 'Shimano 600' running down the front side of the aero section. I will most likely put this post on the Serotta until I find the right Campagnolo post. The Aero section is 100mm to the saddle rails, and the Gazelle, wouldn't you know it, has about 95mm of post exposed. So the new post goes on the new bike.

I did, however, put my Flite saddle on it and test fit the post on the Gazelle just to see how it looks:







Now would anyone have guessed it was a Shimano part if I hadn't told you?

Very, very nice.

Now put a Brooks on it

-Kurt

Actually I'll likely use a San Marco Rolls.

More Seatpost goodness! I stopped by my LBS today to kill a little time before my class and took a quick browse through a bin of take-off seatposts. I was looking more for any decently priced carbon posts for my modern bike, but a few silver posts caught my eye and I dug down and looked through them. This is a little gem I found:

Well 10 minutes and a little polish later and this is what we have...

Unfortunately, that is not usually the case.

The new post looks great, Mother's has worked for me for 20+ years.

Ok, Campagnolo posts in small sizes may not.

Hey I've got one of those Campy's Cuda. It came with an 87 Waterford Paramount I got last year. I looked it up on my Campy catalog DVD and I think found it somewhere in the late 80s as part of a C-Record group (which would fit with the rest of the bike). But I couldn't quite get a totally positive ID, so I'm open to correction. Nice polish.

Thanks. I'd heard they were from the early 90's, and probably some overlap in the late 80's as well. I did my first ride on the bike with this post today and so far it looks like the saddle isn't moving anywhere. With the lighter seatpost and some other changes since the orginal build up of this bike I've dropped about 3/4 of a pound off the total. Down to 21lbs even.

This looks nice:

Cuda, I've never seen that type of Campagnolo post before. Now I want one.

You little stinker.

-Kurt

That looks very simular to the ITM post I have on my Barracuda Mk.I.


Cudak888 - I know someone who has one. I'll PM you.

I double checked on that Campy seatpost, Cuda. The '89 catalog shows a Record post of that design, except the logo in the catalog version is horizontal -- plain lettering around the top. I bet they tweaked it a bit before or after.

Thanks for checking. It is a nice post and at least after one day of riding it doesn't seem to have allowed the saddle to slip any.

Cuda2K, you may want to have a look at this for informational purposed, that may be a very first generation post c-record record post you have? or last generation c-record???

That sure looks like the post. Thanks for the link.
