Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for a 26.4mm seatpost similar to this one to finish a restro rebuild project I'm busy with.

Please let me know if you have one available, I'm willing to throw some cash at it.

Colour and decals done :ph34r: will add the other bits as i get them.

That is awesome. Good Job. Did you go as far as getting that fancy Olympic Spez paint that changed colour as it got hotter?

Had a look at the Spaz paint but expensive and complicated for me and my non existent spray painting skills. i went with the Focus ST yellow and orange with flake and pearl. 

Tried to get the Tarmac look left the black pin stripe off as it just looks odd

Ive got an old alu GT Zaskar Team frame hanging in my garage. A few years back I stripped the clearcoat and started polishing the frame, but never got around to finishing it so it is currently just has a bare brushed alu finish. The frame is XL, takes 26"wheels and has QR dropouts and disc mounts. If you are still looking let me know. A donation to an animal charity is all I would really want for it, and we would just have to arrange shipping as i'm in JHB.

Busy doing a 'resto-mod' road bike build for a local Christian Charity. They have provided a lot of the parts and I have put together what I have available.

 

The wheels they provided are old Campag but the groupset is Shimano, need a rear wheel not fussed what or how old.

 

Also need a 27.2 seatpost and clamp to go with it, again condition and type irrelevant as long as it works

 

Would appreciate any help with this please, am in the Alberton area ....

Ive got a cutdown FSA 27.2 carbon post. If it works you can have it with pleasure. How long does it need to be?

It's a Gios farm gate of a frame (not 'compact') so cut down should not be a problem [emoji16]

 

Will PM you
