Seat post slipping. 1980s Ciocc. Everyone that tried to help me ID the bike assumed it was Aelle because of the 26.8 seat post. I broke the first binder bolt, and replaced it with one that didn't bottom out. Now it is still slipping, and I noticed this. The clamp ears aren't parralell, and the ear seems to show a crack in (hopefully) the paint. I got lots of advice about spreading the seat tube, and or reaming it, or shimming it. Am I in danger of the ears cracking off? Or is a bend more likely? I don't want to mess withrhwi paint if I can get away with it. Least than 2 weeks to Eroica.
thanks in advance
