WTT for Nitto seat posts (lugged 26.8, 2-bolt 27.2)

[Eric Grim]

WTT for seatposts: I want a Nitto lugged seatpost in 26.8mm, and a Nitto two-bolt seatpost in 27.2.

I have these parts available:

Nitto lugged seatpost, 27.2mm, with light marks (I polished the inside of the seat tube before installing it)

Nitto two-bolt "frog" seatpost in 26.8mm (light marks)

Nitto single-bolt U15-10N seatpost also in 26.8 (light marks)

Nitto XP steel stem, brand new, never inserted

Nitto XT Dirt Drop stem for 26.0 bars (light marks)

Nitto RM016N "mustache" style handlebars

If you happen to be a vintage drop bar enthusiast, I have a Cinelli bar & stem set, and an old aluminum Raleigh bar & stem set. Neither of these is in as good shape as the Nitto parts, but they're straight., and I cleaned the sticky residue off.

I think the Nitto S84 lugged seatpost has only ever been manufactured in 27.2mm. It’s one of the reasons that many of us are frustrated that so many Riv models require a 26.8mm seatpost. If you’re looking for more setback IRD is probably the way to go.

I didn't know that, too bad.  In that case, I'd still like to trade for a two-bolt Nitto seatpost with 27.2mm diameter.

The lugged post is 2 bolt...unless you are looking for the S83

[Eric Grim]

Yes, the lugged seatpost is a two bolt, and I was thinking I'd like to replace it with a plain aluminum S83 two-bolt seatpost.  But maybe that's more trouble than it's worth.  I had the idea that the fancy lugged seatpost looked funny on the Soma "San Marcos", but a lugged seatpost would look at home on the Appaloosa with its fancy lugwork.  That's all.  But if there isn't (and never was) a lugged S84 in 26.8mm, as Jay Lonner pointed out, then the whole plan kinda falls apart.  I think I should re-evaluate the whole plan.
