Thanks @SteelNipple missed your initial ID. I may have a Kalloy, but no logo like that (CF post). My older Asian posts are essentially SR, Sugino, and Sun Tour so nothing to compare to. I will say now seeing the design unmarred (without the text) it does seem a little bit familiar; and the "k"...

@Canuk thanks for the info. I checked some Arius examples, but no matchs. Quality of those Arius posts looks to be of higher quality in finish than the mystery post. Still thinking European make; but no way to determine country of origin.

1970 Super build cont'd Not much to add as I am slowly getting the ITM stem and bar polished; servicing of 4 sets of wheels for projects present and future (need a 12.5mm cone wrench for one. Screwed), overhaul maintenance on 3 riders, finishing up a concurrent project, and starting Colnago '78...

1978 Super rebuild start. While gathering parts for the '70 Super I thought it prudent to do the same for this '78 since most items are located together, and I need to service a few wheelsets and prefer to do all at once. Thankfully, a little easier to piece together another fairly period...

@non-fixie those are both interesting! Clean look to the red one. Is the other a folder?

Do you think they actually helped physically; or if you had better performances when using them might it have been due to a psychological thing? Any cracking?

I cannot believe someone is using those heavy PMP cranks on a TT bike (or on any bike for the matter). Those things never made any sense to me (although I understand the science involved), but they do look interesting if nothing else. Did they ever suffer from cracking/breaking at the bend?

Researched this and still nothing; not American Classic, and not Aprilia so I guess it becomes an odd spare for now as I do not want to use a mystery post on a specific build. This is my "bump" post hoping someone will be able to help; otherwise I got another seat post to sell.

Early '90s Hopmans "Granchio" frame (seller photo; but my frame). Note: I personally never understood the reason for a curved top tune. All it does in my opinion is to add weight as I see no aerodynamic or structural value that improves the frame's inherent performance/efficiency. Can...

I have a couple of those Nishiki bikes. They were marketed in the US so available "locally" in the western US (originally American Eagle, then Nishiki; by West Coast Bikes). That frame '86 ('87 model year) made by Kawamura. I do have a Hopmans lo-pro (nos frame not built yet) stored away so...

Interesting "ice" adaptation. Probably not too much fun in cross winds. We took old tires and screwed sheet metal screws through from the inside; worked okay except cornering.

I was told by another that this is a Selcof post, but I cannot figure that one out, and no justification was provided. It did come off an Italian bike, but aside from that and the paint work I cannot claim it to be of Italian origin without a high degree of uncertainty.

@juvela just for reference purposes here is the ANPI post logo design that I found. They may have a later version of the logo, but I did not find any other in a quick glance. Logo seems to be '70s maybe early '80s based on post design (I know nothing if the company, but Camp. 3 bolt version...

Nice @bagpuss Bring on the orange bikes! Finishing up one myself.

Some sort of Bianchi (CX?)

@Canuk I do not personally own any Zunow bikes, but would like to if not for cost. My only "crazy" Japanese frame that I ride regularly is a rather pedestrian looking Nishiki compared to others shown here.

Good write up. Thanks!

Do not forget Zunow!

Yes, Bititan is Ti; Colnago also did the dual down tube in aluminium just before the carbitubo version.
