Replacement seatpost for Specialized Transition Expert

Hi! I’m close to buying a used Specialized Transition Expert. One reservation I have is that I’ll probably need to buy a new seatpost as the current one has been cut for a slightly smaller rider. Are there any aftermarket options or am I limited to original Specialized seatposts (at ca. $200). Thanks for any help!

you’re limited to a stock seatpost.

they are often on eBay & ST.

if you can’t find one in your colorway, it’s still probably cheaper to buy in secondary market & have custom painted, than it is to buy from Specialized.

Thanks, you’ve put my mind at ease
