AHHHHH, "schmuck", usually I only hear Yiddish here in New York. Think of how at home e-richie must feel right now. Reminds me of Katz's deli on Houston Street! Anyways, I digress, yes the seat tube can be made better w/ the use of a mandrel: like a long pipe/ stem with an expander. Rob Roberson has one, but your Motta would have to travel to Southern California for the winter. Hummmm...Norway is nice , but SoCal, I may have to do that myself!
