ohh god stop it, please, 27.0 how the hell does one fine a 27.0 black seatpost. i'm googling right now but if someone knows where is a good place to find a 27.0 or 26.8 seatpost without special order please let me know.

edit: never mine i see ritchey makes them

Walk into a shop.

Ask "Do you have a black seatpost in 27.0?"

Repeat as necessary.

Thomson.

yea, ok, funny. i asked who made them, i know i can RIDE to the bike shop and ask.

The keirin ones are hard to find, the non-keirin ones are pretty common.

Kalloy makes some.

S/F,
CEYA!

I miss my 27.0, right DerekRI.lol

S/F,
CEYA!

It's been put to good use I'll be in NYC for the 1st week in April, if you'd like to see it's new home, let me know!

I should be in Nippon by then but we will see.

S/F,
CEYA!

i got a 27.0 nitto jag post in good shape from stratton/keirin culture. not that hard to come by.

as i've always been told, njs approved frames must use all round tubing, nothing aero/ovalized.

I don't believe this is true.

Yeah i guess its not true. I recently saw a Makino with a full rear triangle that was aero. NJS frame.
Also, my fork is aero and many other are as well. (NJS frame)

sasha has had a number of keirin frames that had aero tubing, and the 3rensho he owns has it also.

as el twe said, thomson makes them. there's really no point in looking any further. in fact, if i score a new frame i'm gonna have the 26.8 thomson elite off my spicer up for sale (unless of course the new frame happens to take a 26.8 but that would just be too perfect wouldn't it?).

ohh thanks chris, yea i have a thomson 27.2 and if the frame needs a 26.8 i was going to be ****ed. what frame are u getting

haha, whatever frame sasha scores for me!!! I halfway considered the grey & white dqm/t* pista concept up on the wall at the opening tonight but...is for short people...

but yeah when i got my spicer i scoured the interwebz for sexy 26.8's. i had a kalloy laprade as ceya mentioned when i first got it (was running out of budget at the time), but it was klunky, ugly, had a poorly designed clamp, and was HEAVY AS ****! There's not much eye candy in the 26.8 category (ie miche supertype, easton carbon aero ****, etc.), but you can't go wrong with the Thomson. A 27.2 Elite should be about zero problem to get rid of...

u should have gotton it. u would have looked hot 2 def

fair enough - i'm getting my info from yamaguchi in part, thats something he told me when i was out working with him. one of the reasons he wanted to get out of japan and over to the us.

Don't worry, I've got one of these in a 26.8 that you can have:

I've got a kona that could use that.

I ride an Anchor labled Bridgestone Keirin bike, and I absolutely love it. One of the nicest rides I've ever owned. It takes a 27.0 seatpost, which are hard to find used. You can get new Nitto NJ-SP72 Jaguar seatposts for about $130.

$130? What a steal.

I hope that's a joke.

apparently, sarcasm of that caliber is still hard to catch on teh internetz
