Wow. Not really a big deal, I guess. Just never imagined there'd be a bike from Rivendell that I couldn't use a Nitto S-83 or Crystal Fellow from Rivendell with. I'd've expected to toss the seatpost that came with it and put in some jewelry.
Like I said, no big deal. Just unexpected. I wonder if there's a particular reason.
