Want - a non-fluted, silver 27.2 seatpost with either one adjustment bolt, or two (I do prefer two, but that's just a "tie-breaker"). I like the idea of fluted seatposts, but the fluting extends into the seat tube when the saddle is set at the proper height for me, which. I'm willing to account for value differential.

While It's unlikely you'll want it, I have a 27.2 silver Kalloy single bolt seatpost that I'm not likely to use, since I replaced it with a black post. I'm not interested in a direct replacement, though I will be in strong need of a 26.4 seatpost longer than 250mm. Seatposts from the bike's era just weren't made that long...
I should say one bolt seatposts. The seat pin was originally chromed steel with a clamp...
