That's a Hupelrider seat post. It came on early higher quality Japanese bikes like the Fuji Finest I outed last night and evidently the first generation World Voyageur. A decent post, only fair finish. What was the comany and what became of it is a mystery as what a Hupel is.

> This '72-'73 MIJ Schwinn World Voyageur has a weird seatpost. In
\r?\n> addition to
\r?\n> diameter, it is marked with two words: The first word has strange
\r?\n> characters
\r?\n> that resemble Cyrillic; capitol C - strange looking cap Y - pi
\r?\n> symbol -
\r?\n> strange cap E - cap P. The second word is longhand script "Rider".
\r?\n> Bike appears to
\r?\n> have all original japanese components. I was just wonderin' if
\r?\n> anyone else
\r?\n> has seen one?
