Actually, I think that's me, only I don't have a lathe haha.
Farce is actually a great word for the project. Actually, so good that I might add it to that list of words at the very beginning of this thread on the first post.
As far as the seatpost, that's the general idea, at least for a the 'Campy' effect. Because it relies on a specific size (around 25mm), in a specific condition (junk), for a specific reason (cheap as dirt, hopefully), I might be waiting a while, so plan 'A' it is for now. I'll cover that in a bit. The reason for the 25mm size is that it is the closest size to the outer diameter of the seat tube, so it is more for the visual effect. If I had the top of a 27mm seatpost sitting on top of a 25.4mm frame tubing, it would seem out of whack, and remember this project is all about surface level vanity and looking good...as good as we can for a Huffy.
I'm home now, and I still have the packages to go, so
Mad Honk you should be getting a package soon, along with another member here.
In the meantime, this weekend is going to be carving up some shims, and I'm going to try to align the dropouts. Oh, and try to get the Campy Super record crown race to see how it interacts with the Huffy steerer tube.
