That the post has a screw in it to "insure" it stays in place doesn't inspire confidence on the part of the manufacturer. Imagine putting some screws in the lugs of a frame "just in case" . Come to think of it I did have a KHS Columbus SL tubed frame have the seat tube pop out of the bottom bracket in the 80's, so darnit .... that screw could came in handy ! Hardy har har !!! Or maybe it's a "liable screw", or maybe someone just had a screw loose and didn't know else else to put than the .... oh I don't know .... the back of a seatpost ? Someones humour doesn't translate in print ..... so this is my own laugh track (((((((((( laughter )))))))) !
If this were my nightmare though I would consult Jack the framebuilder about having the frame reamed out to 27.2 post, like every other Columbus or Reynolds 28.6 OD steel racing frame I've ridden on using the same Campy posts. No .... I take that back .... I'd rather wake up from the nightmare and realize it was all but a wayward dream about things that could never be ..... a land where things were never quite right for all the eye to see and all the people that be. Now you may laugh and you may cry .... as do I .... but never fear ..... for All is Well right Now and Here. . Hah ! Yet I hear echoes of arguments that now and here sucks and things are never all right ..... and to that I take neither defense or offense and surely neither dither or delight . For things to be at all however ..... things must be all alright ..... lest never there be anything being at all in the first place to go not right . This is non-negotiable. And with this I rest, Oh listen to the chorus of this Silent Night !!!!!! My favorite song !
