WTB: 26.0 seatpost

Hello! As the title implies, I'm looking to barter/trade/buy a 26.0 seat post. I've exhausted local sources, and the only ones found have been boat anchors or unfitting for the frame. Ideally, the post would be a two-bolt micro adjust, but I realize that vintage examples are in short supply. So I'll take anything that meets the following requirements:

  • not a boat anchor
  • preferably not covered in rust, scratches, or mysterious goop
  • "normal" clamp spacing for a brooks or other modern saddle
  • does not require a Campagnolo seat post wrench to adjust
  • fluting would be a definite plus
  • quill seatposts are definitely welcome
I've a bunch of 27.2 seatposts in all materials to trade, as well as other parts. I don't need/want any seat post more than 60 dollars (unless used Ti), as I would just as readily go purchase a new Thomson for the same money. Thanks!

Edit. Never mind. I thought I read 26.2 not 26.0.

More or less a month bump. Still looking for a 26.0mm seat post. Same parameters as first post. Up for trade: all the stuff I don't need, which includes stems, wheels, hubs, frames, et. al.

@smoothness Yep it's a 26.0. Marked as such and I measured with calipers as well. It's 205mm long. PM me if you want it.

I'll have to check the length as it's fairly short. what's the distance between the rail clamp and the minimum insertion line?

Thought I had a 26.0 Nuovo record two bolt, but it seems it is a 26.4... oops. And a 26.2 Rino vintage.

Not sure if it helps, but two available on the big auction website which may meet your needs for ~$20 or $27 shipped, respectively. Search for 254295549923 and 123939404197.
