SWAP My Campag 27.2 seatpost for a 27.0

[Fairyglass]

As part of a groupset I've bought recently I've a fluted Campag seatpost (Record, Super Record?) which is so tight in my frame that I think I probably need a 27.0 version. Does anyone have a mid 80s or thereabouts Campag seatpost in 27.0 they'd swap, or sell?

Are you trying to get one for the Viner.If so the one in the picture of the bike is not being used at the moment I could swap it for yours if you want.jm.

Hi John,

No, it's not for the Viner- I've another project on the go, a lovely Chris Marshall 653 with chrome nervex lugs. It's almost finished- Record and Super Record throughout- but the seatpin is proving difficult! All I need to get it on the road are cables and a seat pin (although there are some non period parts I'd like to change) and I'm keen to ride it. If you have a seatpin, or know of one which isn't stupidly expensive, I'd appreciate knowing.

The Viner is still in the box- I've had a large unexpected bill, and it's possible that I may put it back up for sale It looks lovely, and I'm hanging onto it as long as I can!

I've got a 27.0mm Super Record seatpost.

Not sure where you are, but my seatpost (and I) are in Sydney, so it might cost a couple of bucks to ship, but if you are cool with it, I'm happy to swap with yours. My 1979 Colnago Super needs a 27.2.

I can get some pics of the post to you over the next 24 hours...

That sounds great- I'll clean mine and take some pics later today. I've found a basic mtb post which fits (after cutting in half!) so I can at least ride the bike, so the time isn't a problem.
I'm in the UK, but happy to cover postage- still cheaper than a new post!
I'll pm you pics later.
Cheers,
Ben
