I need to replace the seat post on my wife's Pinarello. I think it is a 31.6mm, can anyone confirm the diameter of the post. thanks

    Phoned a bike shop today, apparently it is a 31.0 mm - bummer as it reduces the options considerably. Indeed, following a scan around the usual online bike shops, I have not found a single 31.0mm seatpost. Looks like Pinarello want you to buy their own brand "Most" seatposts.

    Get a 27.2mm post and a shim - means have the widest choice of posts possible - if you ever upgrade/change then chances are it will fit another bike.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Had a quick scan through Wiggle and there appear to be quite a few 30.9 posts of various prices:- Ritchey, Easton, Race Face, USE....

    Do you think a 30.9 would work OK. I know it is only a tiny amount, just slightly nervous of messing up an excellent (and expensive) frame.

    Well FYI (and out of curiosity) I measured mine as being 30.89mm last night. :) Perhaps your LBS approximated?

    Thank you - grateful for your comment and measurement. I am always slightly nervous at what things can be approximated and those those must be taken as exact with regard to the bike.
