Inexpensive black AL seatpost in road length?

[oliver1850]

Current project takes a 27.2 but it's a fairly tight fit and I don't want to jam 7" of post in the seat tube. I don't like to cut posts off. 250 mm would be about right but I haven't seen a single post that's less than 300 mm. Are there any available?

I have a Ritchey Comp 27.2 250 length that’s been sitting in the parts bin. It’s yours for shipping cost if you’re interested. PM for pics

'Might' take a flexhone and 'clean' the seat tube out a bit...

AND with the proper tools, no big deal to make a longer seatpost shorter...

Why the not just cut a post down?

These days, “road length” seems to be 300-350mm. Fewer SKUs if nothing else.

I have short legs, so even on compact bikes (I.e. just about all bikes), I will have most of the post crammed into the seat tube.
