25mm French seat post options

[TyrannosaurusALAN]

After my recent thread in the 'Wanted" section, I thought I'd branch out and start a proper one.

I'm looking for a 25mm post for my Alan Gitane, and it must be French. Does anyone know of what might be available with those criteria?

I'm trying to avoid the obvious stuff, DA, Campag etc, and stay 100% French!

Cheers.

Either Simplex or Stronglight springs to mind off the top of my head.

There used to be 25mm Vitus-branded seatposts available to suit their own narrow-diameter seat tubes. If you can't go down the French route but want one of the less obvious options, Selcof (Italian) are worth looking out for. My old Look KG241 race bike, also 25mm, was fitted with a USE Alien - lovely posts but not cheap and the cradle adjustment is a bit fiddly.

Cheers David, will keep an eye out. Have posted a wanted ad too but as yet no bites.

Back to eBay...

Just seen this on French eBay: http://cgi.ebay.fr/Tige-de-selle-SIMPLEX-25-TBE-VGC-/260984775178?pt=FR_JG_Sports_Cyclisme_&hash=item3cc3e7a20a

Did you get sorted? I've found two 25.0mm seatposts, not french, but unless you're being really picky about the parts, you probably won't be able to tell once they're installed!

1. kalloy, aero style, silver, new and unused. 35 euros posted

2. kalloy, fluted, silver and black, used but decent condition. 25 euros posted

cheers, Andy

Thanks Andy, but I'm being "really picky".

To some it might seem silly, but to me it's paramount.

Thanks for posting though

No problem! I understand that sometimes things have to be "just right"! Good luck with the search!
