Thinking about alumimum vs steel.

One can buy stem kits.

Yet, I don't think I've ever seen a seatpost kit.

The steel seatposts have almost completely fallen out of favor 50 years ago.

I am seeing this ITM post that might be interesting to work with. One could add a reinforcement, and finish it up nicely, well, if it wasn't chromed.



I do think that a good aluminum post like the Nuovo Record post has enough meat on it that it could be drilled without much risk. The posts are routinely machined to give them a SR look.
