Ken,
I had an Avocet seat post on my LeJeune tandem in '78 or '79
so I'm sure using one on circa '77 frame would be appropriate.
Actually, I think the rough finish of those seat posts makes
them seem even more "vintage" than they really are. No doubt,
though, one of them would look very nice with a little extra
polishing.
