Thanks Jim, I owe you my Kingdom!
My last entry had me pining for a seat post, proclaiming that this was the last component I needed to assemble my Kogswell 700C P/R frame.
One of my riding buds (Cyclofiend) pinged me a day or two later with a short message: "Keep an eye out for a package in your mail." Sure enough, a nice silver seatpost arrived shortly thereafter, wrapped in a massive layer of protective bubblewrap. And the Tyvek mailing bag it was sent in will be recycled into numerous tire boots!
Jim, you answered my plea, so now I guess I've gotta hand over the pink-slip to the kingdom! I'm not sure how my wife will feel about that, though...
Of course, the story doesn't end here, because it seem this frame really wants a 27.4mm post, not a 27.2 as specified...

Is the 27.2 too slim? Waterfords from certain era are the only bikes I know of that uses 27.4mm. Velosport here in Berkeley stocks them, $20 a piece, some generic shining, polished Taiwanese seatpost, not Nitto, but probably works ok. It supports all 195lbs of me well enough.
I haven't seen the information for the 700c Kogswell P/R anywhere, how did you procure yours?
Oh, pshaw! Ain't no thing. Happy to oblige, partner! Always like to feed the cycling addiction.
Hi Franklyn,
Yes, 27.2mm is too small. Thanks for the Velosport pointer, if I can't find a post nearby I'll try over there.
There's really been no published info about the 700C P/R Kogswells...the only details that have been made available have come from the KOG list. See my Kogswell page for more.
