    I need to get a 31.6mm carbon seatpost with setback somewhere in the range of 25-40mm and I was thinking of going for a white one for the craic, might look well with my white saddle and white/black tyres (might get white bar tape when it's due a changing too).

    Checked on Wiggle & CRC but couldn't see any 31.6mm white carbon seatposts - know anyone that makes them?

    I'll be buying it through Cycleways but want to get a model version and ask them to quote a price on it (will ask them to look into it too).

    The only white carbon seat post I know is this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Cinelli_Ram_Bianca_White_Carbon_Seatpost/5360039866/
    Which I would love. I'll also take your old one :D

    Might not be enough setback on that Cinelli for ya.

    Holy crap, that's one wallet buster right there...gotta love the "ANTI COMPRESSION CHANNEL (Gruppo patent) that prevents the edge of the seat tube (which are often sharp) from carving the seat pin." selling point - guess I'll have to let my seat pin find its own way in the big bad world out there and fight its own battles against the big bad carving seat tube.

    Will keep looking, but it does seem a bit of a long shot.

    Would it be possible to buy a clear coated seatpost, strip the clear coat then paint it back up in white? Or would that be even more expensive (and difficult) than the 200 euro for the cinelli?
