A friend was recently given an old carbon vitus bike. The
seatpost is cracked and needs to be replaced. It is 23mm.
Anybody have one of these lying around?

thanks pamela blalock

Are you sure about that Pam? I believe that the seatpost
should be a 25 or a
25.2 and they are presently available from American Classic.

Hi, Tom-

IIRC, 25mm posts fit the 979 aluminum frames while 23mm fit
the "Carbone" frames. It's been a while since I climbed the
shelves at Euro-Asia, so I'm not 100% sure.

Path of least resistance would be getting a larger one
turned down in a lathe. The headstock jaws have to fit over
the top, obviously. BT

That's a good recipe for disaster... can you say
"alloy enema"?
