    You meant that first sentence didn't you? You should have gone bigger.

    Just get a 27.2 > 30 USE shim, then the choice is pretty universal.

    I managed to get a Thomson seatpost in 30.0mm a couple of years ago. I had it shipped over from the U.S. though.

    Ta-daaaa.
    It might not be very pretty or very light, but then again neither's the cove :wink: .
    I've had one before and it's done the job fine. Can't really be had for a tenner!

    yeah i saw this but i'm being a tart and want my seatpost, bars and stem to match so preferably race face or easton, but funn would be ok i suppose :lol:

    i'm no lightweight either so i may be ok with it :lol:
