Take a Thomson, leave a Thomson. Seat post swap!

Ever since the US moved to fiat currency, some economists and politicians have longing for a return of the gold standard. I once proposed a Thomson seatpost standard, in which the dollar was pegged to the 1/50th of the market value of a used Thomson Elite seatpost (which has been about $50 for as long as I can remember), but could not get the bill through congress.

Instead, what about a Thomson seatpost swap thread: take a Thomson, leave a Thomson.

Have :
31.6 Masterpiece straight, black 350mm
31.6 Elite straight, black, cut to about 300mm
31.6 Elite straight, silver, cut to about 360mm

Want: 27.2 setback, black 350mm or longer

What you got?

Is it me or is 31.6 an odd size
Playing ignorant as I don't think I ever had that size.

30.9 or 27.9
I had a goofy size once and I can't remember which bike but it wasn't 31.6.

Otherwise I like this idea.

31.6 is a pretty common carbon road and Mtb size. Not so much for steel.

Thomson makes some real wackadoo seatpost sizes for uncommon tube sets. Some Pegoretti's take something like 29.4 or 30.8 or 33.3333333333.

I personally collect the 33 - 1/3's but they somehow don't fit any of my frames

I've got a 27.2 330mm in BLACK I'd like to swap for a silver. I usually don't care about colors but on that bike I guess I do.

how about stems? x2 +/-17x120. i needs me some 31.6 postssss

go fish. -17/120 is hard-man material. I would certainly trade a 31.6 posts for a bag-o-pennies doe.

Really, no spare 27.2's out there?

Couldn't help it. Looks so good slammed on the cross bike. But 120 was to long. Stuck with the 100mm -17

I'll throw down with some stems, since everyone else seems to be.

Have:
Elite X4 70x0, 1 1/8 x 31.8
Elite X4 90x10, 1 1/8 x 31.8

Want:
27.2 straight post. Black, silver, doesn't matter. Length can be short as f*** (220-250 is fine). Take both for a masterpiece.
