Did Raceface make a 27.0 seatpost?

[shepp]

Hi

Looking to swap my 27.0 Thompson seatpost for a 27.0 raceface so it matches the other components and I can’t seem to find any. Anyone know if they made them, or am I looking in vain?

Thanks

Dan

I think I have one in 26.8 so they did do at least one of the more obscure sizes, assume they must have done others.

I have an XY in 27.0.

Not sure of other models, I think later models just went 27.2, 30.9 and 31.6.

Great news, is it black? Now it’s a hunting game, thanks for posting.

My 27.0 XY is carbon, 400mm long and I thought I'd never find something decent and long for my Explosif

This is for my 1995 Explosif, just need the post! Have a Thompson to swap for it if needed, will create a wanted post, thanks

No, it's actually a matte grey. Not a polished silver, but an anodised grey. I have black ones in 27.2 and 30.9 as well, all 3 are in use. They are the best seatpost I have ever used, so simple to adjust and they stay in place.

Race Face, you listening? bring back the XY and XYO seatposts, and the original logo - not some modern crappy text.

EDIT: The brochure Joglo posted below shows the colours as black, silver and pewter. The grey post I have would be the "pewter". And I want one of the display cabinets...

Never seen an XY in carbon! That must be a rarity!

Completely agree…also 27.0 please Raceface

I have no better pic., but this is from the 1998 RF brochure, where they first time have listed a seat post at all, the model XY.
It was offered also in 27.0mm.
