Can't believe my shimano clip ons pd-m747's only going for 7.50 on the bay.... :cry:

Lol ok the "reaming" from about 5-7" below the rim, was me with a grind wheel on a drill, the first 5 " are clean and original. Maybe I should seek a pros advice (as such) but get suspicious of those making money from the business...

It's definately metal/weld type material I tried to grind it back to get the post down with limited success, hence my welding guess, It's not rust tho the bottom of the tube IS more muck type! 2nd pic shows it best but not perfectly it definitely restricts the diameter less than the sleeves even.

I think maybe, on closer inspection, the outer imperfection is a paint run/issue, as for the inside???? fek knows...! http://www.flickr.com/photos/43064452@N ... otostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/43064452@N ... otostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/43064452@N ... otostream/...

Mmmmm! I wonder! What I see, is you look down the seat post hole, and just below the maintube there is lots of material on the inside of the tube that is uneven, and restricts the tube diameter as it is pretty much all round inside, and prevents the post going down, I can't imaginre it came out...

I'd also add, I'm pretty certain it's not steel, it's featherlite!

Sorry, that's my poor accuracy, what I mean is, it isn't a perfect surface cylinder wise, as if the weld wasn't quite taken down to the original profile. The paint is total and good, no lack of adhesion or sign of flaking etc. in fact, quite an impressive job imho

Sadly, I believe you are pretty close to the mark there, I can't really afford to keep the bike but not desparate so may sit on it and see if I get a reasonable offer, Really against separating things, seems such a waste, but I suppose it would be inevitable, but rather someone else was...

Pics? I'm assuming you don't mean mine lol I have a flickr link on the q's about value forum...!
