This is a pretty unusual size for a roadbike, in fact I found NO other road bikes in Sheldon Brown's database that take this size. Thomson, Richey, Race Face, FSA, Easton, Salsa, Control Tech, and Bontrager make excellent seatposts in this size but they're mostly targeted to the high-end mountain bike market where large diameter seatposts are common. I was surprised to learn that the Campy Record carbon seatpost also comes in this size. Why would Campagnolo make their highest quality road-exclusive seatpost in a size that only one road bike in the world requires? Because that road bike is Klein. U.S.E and Cane Creek both sell shims that will allow you to use other seatposts if you want. I suspect there may be some newer "compact geometry" aluminum road bikes out there now that may require a 31.6, but I couldn't find any. Clearly Campagnolo recognizes that Klein owners alone will be a sufficient demand for this item. -------------------- Check out my bike blog! http://diabloscott.blogspot.com Post Extras
