Alternatives to Campag Chorus Aero 88 seatpost

- Start date
By '88 there were some third party alternatives, but maybe a bit before the big explosion in small bike company manufacturing. I have a '88 Performance Bicycle Shop catalog and the only two posts they offer longer than the Chorus are the Strong PM-30 and Strong PMC-30 carbon fiber (believe it or not carbon!)
Performance had a very limited selection so maybe a pro shop would have had more choices?
If you are not too worried about exact period correctness by the early 90s the choices are much greater including Richey, American Classic, Syncros and even XTR.
Another question , If you need a longer post maybe the frame is too small?

I struggle with frame sizes as I think I have long legs and a short torso. Its a 58cm seattube and the guy who ran the bike before was 6 1. I am just under 6ft.
Anyway, what would you recommend for a straight swap, as otherwise I shall have to resort for a Kalloy one in the interim.

I actually have a kalloy and ritchey pro (but in black) all 27.2. What I would like is something with a microadjust as it is so much easier to adjust the angle.

I took one look at that bike and....
You need a bigger frame maybe by 2cm or so, even your stem is at its max!
So I would use the Kalloy as it would look better than a balck one with the rest of the components and start a search for a new frame. Ciocc are pretty common if you really like that make.

Don't sell the post keep it that is what I do....
I have the same body geometry as you, long legs short torso, only on a slightly smaller scale. You can compensate with a shorter stem, slightly forward position on the saddle. If you went up in bike size by one cm you could keep the current post and buy a stem that is one or two cm shorter.
