As The Pedal Turns... Another episode of the Rossin build, a nice place to sit, lube for a tight post, and I copy my own cockpit.
I received the Campagnolo Nuovo Superleggero seatpost, it weighed in at 304gr. and was in nice condition. After a quick sand and polish I assembled it with the last of my titanium Brooks Swallow saddles. all up weight of the assembly is 649gr.

The Rossin has a very tight seatpost tube even after all the usual prep work, this called for my "secret seatpost sauce" for final installation. Here Is the recipe, 50% anti seize and 50% wheel bearing grease, still a tight fit but no galling on installation.

The Serrota has been a really good fit for me so I transferred all the contact points over with allowances for the 2cm. larger frame, so far so good.
