Agreed. Worthless link. What kind of forum not only won't allow one to view a page without registering but will also spam you with popups? Why not just describe what it is and post a link to a photo (hint: URL ends in .jpg) and save us all the bother? Kurt Sperry Bellingham WA

Speaking for myself, I would appreciate a warning in e-mails with links that the linked page requires some sort of registration to be viewed, and in addition will be the source of unsolicited pop-ups. All I got for clicking the linked page was a bunch of useless pop-ups.

> Sydney, Oz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Folks, I would like to push aside the bad link issue, funky URL, popups etc. and take a gander at that SR Seatpost a little bit further. Note that it appears to be just an "aero" C-record seat-post with fancy pantographing that came in a SR box. Au contraire. I have seen this type before. While i am not exactly sure when C-record showed-up, (perhaps 86), I first saw this SR seatpost appear in 1984. Obviously from the ebay posting, it appeared on Gerber bikes. I have also seen it on top-end Colnago and Bianchi, 1984 models, with the rest of the bike being "standard" SR. However, the only thing I find "super-record" about it, is the seat cluster, and that it was made by Campy. Have others seen this "SR" seatpost before and perhaps know a better history
of it?
