Seriously, what were they thinking. Why such a goofy small seatpost diameter, what there any logic behind it or was chris just trying to be different?
I think it's a True Temper thing. 26.4 was a really popular European race bike size back in the day too.
Makes a 25.5 to 26.4 shim. That opens your options to every high-end BMX post being made today. Hello Thomson!
Failing that - and not to harp on this - but Suntour XC posts come up on eBay every now and again and don't seem to command a super-high price. They are the finest available ATMO.
Ah, yeah, he did start frame building back in the 70's, I didn't think of that. Even so, it still wasn't that popular a size, except maybe on French bikes or some oddball bikes from Asia.
It stinks, that stupid size is so freakin hard to find in a decent post.
