Hey... gotta have four inches of straddle clearance, just like on your mountain bike, right?
That's what looks PRO, cool and dope, so... stick a two foot seat post on to get proper pedal
extension! Handlebars too low? Hey, that's how Cancell-Nibali-Basso' Mackuen ride, and 'ya gotta look
like them to be cool, right? That's just the way the wheel rolls, so get used to it!

(I know it sounds sarcastic, but I just don't have the heart to say what I really feel...)

a shorty is just fine-as when she grows up she will move to a larger framesize.

I guess the best way to cut it would be a pipe cutter folowed by a file,

but everybody should have a hacksaw in their toolbox.

This is how I've done it. Seatposts are very thick compared to copper plumbing pipe, but just keep taking small bites and it works fine. The cutter produces a very slight flare on either side of the cut, so the file is essential.

Yeah, I've always been miffed about this. I love the look and clamp adjustment of the Campy aero posts, but I typically ride with between 7-8" of post exposed. Even a more modern Chorus post was too short.
