I put crπep into a popular Search Engine and I got a seatpost image and the second of a few Japanese language entries mentions: "crπep rider".

Wow what an odd component. Would like to hear the story behind the name.

incazzare.
Looks kinda like it says "Crap Rider," so it's perfect for me!

I assume it was meant to be "Super" in Cyrillic, but "Hupel" is a lot cooler.

Clones of the SR Royal/Custom models perhaps.

Thanks for all the info guys! I assumed that it was added by the owner for the micro-adjust. Interesting to see that it was original equipment.

I keep seeing "Creep Rider" when I read it.

What I want to know is what kinda bike has a double top tube like that? It doesn't look like a standard mite, from that angle.

If that's a Hupel Rider the post is very soft metal. My Fuji Pro came with one. Racing down from Smuggler's Notch, I hit a frost heave going 50+ and got tossed a couple of feet into the air by my derriere. Bike came down seemingly fine. Finished the race, then discovered the post was significant'y bent back. (The happy ending - I won a Zeus post.)
Edit: that soft metal might well account for some of the scarring on the OP's post.
