Re: seat post help please

John,
i don't know about overseas Hutch seatposts.
could be that those were 22,6mm
back in the day, i never measured my seatpost because thought they were all 22,2mm :-)
I've seen many frames that were crushed up on the seatpost clamp area to clamp the seatpost.
You have 2 good options like you described in your reply.
But if the Hutch post has good chrome, don't powdercoat (i think you mean that) it!
Always try to save the orginal finish first!

Re: seat post help please

the hutch post was mint but it was white and i've had it chromed and added an original coin decal and made the mistake of not trying it first before i spent money on it, also i bought from the US a near full set of hutch pro racer decals just for 2 coin decals, it's getting expensive seeing as i've now waisted one on the seat post
the hutch post owes me a fortune now anyway, needed it chrome to go with my bars.
i will be getting the Hsin Lung seat post chromed now and will probably sell the hutch to get some money back.
