<Dear treasure Seekers...RE: the seatpost deal at the Velo-Rendezvous,>
Truth be told I got the Super Record seatpost for 10 bucks....It wasn't NOS but was merely in beautiful shape after a bit of polishing. A half dozen classic cycle buffs had formed a rugby huddle around the seller but I managed this crumb :^) *More* importantly this very seatpost was used as a baton to conduct the Vincenza Philharmonic by none other than guest conductor Valentino Campagnolo to open the new opera, "Mr. Masi goes to the Vigorelli".
