Brought home a couple posts. One 27.0 and another I thought was 26.8 but somehow, I mis-measured.
The 27.0 does not fit.


Seat post. I did take the frame to work to use their Bore scope. But it was in quality for it's annual certs.
Did a mock up of the cranks and bb. The threads for one of the pedal hole was a little boogered but threaded fine from the backside until the very end. Waiting on a tap to arrive to clean that up. The chainrings on the campy steel crank I swapped with rings from a Specialties TA steel rings.

The little nub on the seat post looks like a cable stop for a derailer. I wont be using it.
I have taps and chasers if you don't want to wait.

Borescope too.
