[MENTION=29368]rootboy[/MENTION] - your feted imagination wandering around in the seat tube with a seat post cause me to respond with the following observation. There might be an opportunity for an untreated post to corrode in the gap making the post larger in diameter than the ID of the butted section. Result may be a loose post but not removable due to the corroded OD being larger than the butted ID.
