Been looking at clearance Reacto bikes but most other road bikes I see have round seat posts and this is not. If it breaks or cracks or I want to change it for whatever reason, how hard will it be to find a matching part?
Are these standard sizes?
Thanks.

You will always be able to source these from Merida. Would take alot to break a seat post as well...

Thanks for the updates.
Went back to buy it (the whole bike - not the seat post), someone else had already put it on layby.
