thanks but no thanks.. had one but sold it, not too keen on the "soft" (visually!) finish..
anyways, i haven't updated the thread due to slackery, and it looks like the bike hates me a bit for taking a drill to its pretty face..
there had already been problems with the seatpost in back in 2012 due to fucked clamping ears in which a normal seatpost bolt doesnt fit anymore.
the 3ttt seatpost, after quite some shenanigans, did sit firm in the frame by the end of the whole sharade.
after swapping it for the ratty 7410 seatpost with the new build, it didnt, and doesnt want to anymore..
i've resorted to ordering a 27.4mm kalloy seatpost to try to rectify the problem without having the address the hardware malfunction. tell me if this is stupid.
if this doesnt work, i could resort to external clamps on the seattube, maybe with even having to grind off what is left of the ears.
last option would be to get new ears welded on. "Shame", if itld get to that, anyone around here who'ld do that?
let me know your thoughts. ill get a pic up asap
