I pulled out my 04 pista seatpost last night, and it doesn't seem that the interior of the seat tube has the same finish as the exterior. light was bad, so i couldn't swear, but it seemed the chrome only went a few mm into the seat tube. i don't know what that means...maybe the chrome is cheaply painted on, maybe the seat tube is plugged when the chroming takes place. any enlightening info on the chroming process would be welcomed, because i'm thinking of stripping the clear coat and decals off my bike and would really like to know what would happen to the chrome if i do so. well worst case scenario, i get to repaint the frame, eh?
