Cunningham Seatposts - Reproduction needs Anyone ?!

Hi guys,
A matter is dear to us and anyone looking to find a comfortable ride futurewise will agree.
Charlie was way ahead of everything, yet especially with his seatposts.

Not many builders apart from SP and Moots are offering any layback larger diameter posts which are elegant and funtional.
Hence this call to all - if someone finds himself dedicated to fab one or some of these posts again..

Charles C. obviously made his pretty and light posts as everything else in much variety for details.
Some had setback bend, some not. Other had layback bending plus setback or some just the setback by ongrafted heads from other major companies - preferably campy dura ace and suntour for the record timeline ;) !

All that said we hope CC&JP are in best of care with friends and funds.
If we want to ride in their age on some older Bikes using shorter stems going this far back in time as abrilliantly conceived idea - then that apparent need could resurface.

T.D. in reverence had done some,

so for open source purposes its the material needed
 
Right,
Angle adjustment was filing and stick with a saddle of choice in the first place :)

That said if anybody is interested of properly turning and bending Aluminium to graft a campa or dura ace posthead with shimming and epoxy fixturing, .... that could mean the world for some special bikes people already might have.
 
Back from the Archives via secondspin :D,
whatever this was and what became of it, Steve is using his own formula now these days..

As for the before unmentioned CC-Suntourposts, here from a recent FB-group discussion:
