My saddle and seatpost were stolen the other day. Went to my local bike shop and told me they don't carry that size. Said it was an odd size. Don't want to have to order from the states and have to pay shipping. Any idea where I can get that size in Korea? I live in Daegu. Any help would be much appreciated and I don't want to have to pay too much. Got a wife and two kids. Just use the bike for commuting once in a while.

Try here:

Left column you will see "parts" in English. Seat post is...시트포스트 Not sure if they will have the size you are looking for but could have a Korean friend call if you can't speak Korean.


Also try this site: http://www.nawayo.com/ I just plugged 시트포스트 into the search box and came up with a bunch of seat posts. Some are cheap but I am not sure what diameter you are looking for.

Use http://www.google.co.kr/ and plug 시트포스트 into the search box. You will find plenty of online sites carrying seat posts.

Good luck...

First site didn't find anything, but Googling it did. Found one, but now trying to decide whether to go e-bay and have to pay for shipping or just buy here. Cheapest I could find in Korea was 20,000 won. E-bay had some nice ones (used though) Control Tech, Race Face, etc. but worry about getting it shipped and the cost. Probably have to send it to my parent's house and then have them send it to me. Any idea how much shipping cost would be?
