"Speaking of this, is there a connection between American Classic and the old Weyless? Their current seatpost seems to be essentially to old Weyless design. If it weren't for the large logo, in fact, this post would be a nice option for a replacement post for a late 70'/ early 80's bike. I've only seen photos of this post. Is it perhaps possible to remove the logo without ruining the finish of the post?"

Hi Jerry - yep, the logo can be easily removed. I bought a new American Classic post for my T.I.-Raleigh Team, as it needed a long 27.4mm post. Some 0000 steel wool was all it took to remove the logo, and didn't leave any marks. pics of the bike (and post) are on my yahoo photos page: http://photos.yahoo.com/kurtsj00
