Leah, it seems to me the way to go is pick up a nice looking, reliable, and tough seatpost like a Thomson Elite setback seatpost like this one in 26.8mm diameter. They may make it is silver also but black is all I've ever used. On sale at $85.79 below, and I have NO involvement with the seller.

Hi, a 54 cm frame is already pretty small, but adding a shorter stem will make it feel like a 52 cm at least. If you like the bike otherwise, I'd keep it for the history and early shorter chain stay specs & fitting narrower tires from what I can see. On Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at 5:24:46 P

Well,...maybe not close to failure,...but not optimum either,..as the tube DOES get noticeably thinner when it's used much beyond the stated tire size. A little over and usually no problem, but in your case some luck was involved too I think it fair to say. :-) On 6/28/20, 'Deacon Patrick'

Hi Jim,... you forgot one :-) ..just curious what type of Handlebar wrap is that? It looks really grippy, and I'd like to pick some up to wrap over (and build up) the rubber grip of my Ti Rod Tactical Titanium Walking Stick for better grip. :-) On Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 9:44:51 AM UTC-5

Well that stinks! (sorry, couldn't resist :-) Seriously though, liberally rubbing in some Brooks Proofhide on the top may loosen much of the offending molecules and offending olfactory updrafts. Wait an hour or so and wipe off as much as you can with several paper towels. Hopefully much of
