PhilDAS-
Thanks for the offer but I'm down in Brighton and the father in law has already knocked me up a tool to use with a low speed drill. I'll report back at the weekend 🤞I've got this with a tight seat tube and a Bianchi with a seat tube that isn't round on the inside that can be slippy and I've got one and had two other open mould Chinese frames that have had zero issues. Small sample size i know but so far I'm not that impressed with this famous Italian craftsmanship. It's almost like you just paying a massive premium for a name and a fancy paint job. Oh hang on 🤦🏻♂️

The seatpost arrived today a few weeks earlier than expected which is good just a shame i can't fit it in the frame until I get that sorted. Looks nice but the height markings up the back are a bit more prominent than i'd like. I spoke to my engineer father in law today who's going to make me a tool so hopefully by the weekend where i can get helped out and emasculated at the same time. Quote of the day was the problem with your generation with your fancy phones and your TikTok is no one can actually fucking do anything proper anymore. I kind of see the point he's try to so subtly trying make but I'm 44 and don't even use TikTok. Can everyone else on here just go out to their garage complete with lathe, pillar drill, hundreds of tools and drawers of various types of metal and wood just knock up a reaming tool in a matter of minutes?
