Lee Berg has made an important point which throws me back into uncertainty. The catalog that I have simply sez "RECORD" on the front with red and black ink (n. 19?). Inside it shows the round, no flute, non-aero C-Record seatpost that looks pretty much exactly like mine! I can't tell what it sez near the limit line, but it looks like it has a standard hex head, bolt- not an allen head bolt.
Brook may be summing it up best now by stating that it's late SR/C-Record. There's excellent arguments on both sides.
Dammit- I want to pigeon-hole everything! None of this gray stuf. Black and white please!
Oh well. I'll be OK... :-)
