Anybody got a 29.8 seatpost knocking about that they don't need / want for a few quid?

I'll be building the bike for Surfette this coming month and it's one of the bits I'm gonna need along with Headset and BB.

It's to go in a Decathlon Rockrider FS frame.

Cheers,
Ev

Are you sure it's the seatpost that's 29.8mm. That's usually the seat clamp size on a 27.9mm seatpost. However, if is is the rarer 29.8mm then would something like this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/push-alloy-seat ... _Seat_Post do?

Yep, it's 29.8

Measured across it's ID simply with a measuring tape it comes just a smidge under 30mm so 29.8

Cheers for the link.

I also found this..http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/orange-seatpost-alloy-black-id47677.html Surely it doesn't matter what bike it's for as long as the size is correct?

Technically yes Jamie but I'll build it, have a few goes round local trails and if I like the feel, will go and buy a '08 Stumpy for myself ;)

Yep, had found that and still had it open as a tab in chrome...

But it's price tag contradicts the 'usually very cheap' :(

That's why I had looked around and found the Orange one :)

Might pop down there though and have a browse when back

Good point...

But might go for the 6.99 Orange one as doesn't seem too bad.
