I found a nice Peugeot (531) once...but it wasn't my size, so it was sold on Ebay. That's about as great a find as I have ever made (certainly not a Campy Masi).

That being said, I don't really spe ...

It is positively not 26.4, I have a 26.4 post and it does not fit. Just by eyeballing it, it didn't seem like a 26.2 was going to fit either.

The gypsy should be French made...at least that is wha ...

I guess I could pull out the post and mic it.

Looking for a new modern post for my project. Might have to mi ...
