I solved my slipping seatpost on my Moser with a Super Record expander seatpost - clamps internally like a quill stem - add that with the lug binder bolt and it snugged up nicely. I sniped mine on ebay for $70, which was a good price, and it was also very nice condition. The problem with Super Record posts, they're not very tall, but perfect for my tall frame need. American Classic at one time made a taller expander seatpost. It's kind of a neat idea - you'd think more might offer them, especially Nitto.
