Seat Post DON'Ts
Not a record I ever imagined I would, or ever wanted to, break.
I was ready to find a frozen seat post, since it was sunk so far down into the tube ... What the heck were they thinking? This is coming from a guy that swapped out chromed steel Campy brake nuts for aluminum, and drilled out everything he could find, including an alloy kickstand, but this, this is just goofy. The 1st one, on top of the stand, was part of a '75 Gios Torino- one owner, never raced, IIRC, and now this? Doesn't this say "My frame's way too big?" Anyone need a good deal on (2) too short seatposts?:bang::roflmao2:
Wait a minute, I just realized these both originally came from Texas, right about the same time... Mid-seventies. Was this a Texas "thing" BITD?
Wait for it...
Exactly 3 1/2 ( just under 9cm) inches of post. The cut is so shiny, it looks like it was done yesterday...
