I dropped a decent amount of coin on this and tried to ensure a good pack job. By paying extra for packing and communicating with the Seller the importance of a professional pack job. (See photos for what I got)-Pretty sure he just did a home job on it.

So there was some paint chip damage and the seatpost cavity was exposed.

The seatpost fit is a little tight for some reason. Could something have been damaged during shipping or disassembly?

I didn't want to scratch my post, but it is tight with another post also. Should I just hone it a little? It is NOS? build I think so there shouldn't be any crud in the cavity.

Whats the best tool for that?
