I need a seatpost! 26.4mm or smaller

I need a seatpost, so far everything I have come across was either to expensive or cheaply made component.

Does anyone have an suggestions or maybe one lying around they would wish to sell?

I would prefer a 26.4mm but anything I can use a shim to make fit also works.

How much total with shipping? The eBay one has free shipping, but is still probably more expensive.

That's an excellent price for that. Not sure how much shipping will be but still probably not more than $6-7. The only disadvantage of these Laprade-style posts is that you cannot really adjust them much. I was looking for a 26.4 seat post a couple weeks ago and ended up with an NOS SR Custom P6, which has a multitude of adjustments (downside, you got to adjust it before every ride) for about $15 shipped. Not every ones bread and butter, but it works well with pretty much every saddle out there.

If you guys have any luck finding 26.4 posts with decent shipping to Canada let me know! When I posted about this a couple of weeks ago there were a bunch of 26.4 posts available at a decent price, but shipping to Canada was killer (>$20). I ordered a Kalloy post locally (only $10) however it turns out the distributor is back ordered until March.....

International Priority mail to Canada (small flat rate box, should fit a seatpost unless it is an MTB one) is $11.45. More than that is fraud and bad karma

make a post on the C&V ISO/for trade forum here. I am sure that someone will have one sitting around that they might be willing to part for close to just postage...
