Looks as though it's 320mm long (from seat rails to end) and 26.5 diameter (I'm assuming sold as 26.6). Post is in great condition, a few shiny marks where it was clamped in, and the stickers are a little marked, but pretty good for a gen 1 I reckon.
I've left the flite transalp on it for the photo, it's pretty scuffed, so doubt it's worth a lot - and if it's not then I'll just hang on to it for sentiment.
Any ideas to value would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. John

Cheers.

I am sure there are lots of MTBs out there that take that size. I have a Nishiki touring bike that that post would look great on. so let me know. It's just that the most valuable post are determined by the most valuable bikes...
26.4 --- fat chance whicked to name one
27.0 --- lots of rocky mountains
29.4 --- ibis, fat chance yo/team etc...
Those sizes are valuable as a result of the collectibility of these bikes and the desire for vintage posts for them (a part that gets damaged and broken). Somemight chime in and point out that there is some super collectible retro MTB that takes 26.6 and that this post size is super rare and valuable. Ultimately ebay will determine that. You can always advertise it high and ask for "or best offer".

Somebody has a set, minus the boxes, on eBay for £85, but they haven't sold. I would say it wasn't far off that, it just depends if somebody wants them bad enough...
