Product Description: This offering is for a new-old-stock Gipiemme Sprint seatpost with milled (shallow) sections often referred to as flutes. These flutes are positioned around the top half of the pillar (above the limit line) and painted in a matte black finish. This is all for cosmetics of course, but the black flutes still add to the classic vintage look of the seatpost. Some of the other more prominent design features and specs include the following...
We originally purchased a few samples of these seatposts and although the cosmetic condition was not always as nice as we had hoped, they were well received by customers, so we purchased the remaining stocks from a European wholesaler. We particularly like the traditional styling and as alluded to above, the matte black (painted) flutes/accents are a nice contrast to the silver finish that covers most of the pillar. We also like the engraved "Gipiemme" logo on the frontside of the pillar. It's a nice, albeit understated, touch to this classic looking seatpost. We just wish they had been packed better by the wholesaler. The problem is...they were bulk packed in boxes of 20 with individual slots cut out in the box for each post to stand in an upright position (and free from contact from other seatposts). Although, over the years, it appears some of the saddle clamp parts worked themselves loose and some of the pillars somehow worked themselves out of their slots...so there were some loose parts in each of these boxes that contributed to the shopwear on each seatpost (to varying degrees). For this reason, we are dividing the seatposts into two categories...those with less shopwear vs. those with more visible shopwear. Keeping the aforementioned categories in mind, we are offering one of the more shopworn seatposts here (so a seatpost with more scuffs/scratches). Listing Update...Please also note that while we may have multiple quantities listed for sale, we will repeatedly update the pictures to reflect the next offering that will sell/ship. To this end, I can confirm this next offering shows visible shopwear, with noticeable scuffs and scratches (most likely due to reasons noted above). For this reason, we will make it available at a modest discount relative to our nicer stocks.
