Our favorite drillium artist is at it again.

EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER. NOTHING STRIPPED. EXPERTLY DRILLED BY AN DRILLIUM EXPERT! NO GUARANTEES IF YOU ARE WAY OVERWEIGHT! THE DRILLED SECTION SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED AT ALL. DRILL DRILL DRILL!!!!! LIGHTEN THEM UP! NO MORE DEAD WEIGHT! IF YOU ARE OVER WEIGHT AND DO NOT RIDE YOUR VINTAGE BIKE. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE STRENGTH. DOEST NOT MATTER. THIS CAMPAGNOLO SUPER RECORD SEATPOST IDEAL FOR A PERSON THAT PEDALS HARD AND RACES. THE PRESSURE IS ON YOUR FEET NOT YOUR BUTT. IF YOUR A OVERWEIGHT OR TOTALLY OUT OF SHAPE THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. YOU WILL CRACK IT! LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS! https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAMPAGNOLO-S...item33874f11a8

I'm sure the crack going 1/3 the diameter won't be a problem.

Apart from it being terribly executed drillium, is he trying to get someone killed?

I don't know. A drilled barrel might be interesting.

If you're trying to save weight, why not just cut the seatpost? (not that I'm saying thats a good idea, just using the sellers logic)

He is also selling a crankset with drilled rings. At first, when I looked at the thumbnail, I thought it he did a better job but once you look at the actual picture you quickly see its the same artist at work. Not only that, but he didn't even feel the need to clean the thick grease off the teeth before drilling. At least its not as dangerous as that seatpost.

Is it just my imagination, or has the post actually bent at the point where the "drillium" - and I intentionally use that term disparagingly - ends? Holy crap!

It would have been drilled a LOT better if he had!

This guy REALLY doesn't understand ANYTHING about drillium. These parts aren't lightened, they are destroyed.

I just wish he'd dress up in his silly uniform and then go out and ride a bike fitted with a selection of these parts - thereby pretty quickly putting a permanent stop to all this childish vandalism and nonsense.

I feel sick at the sight, think I'm going to lie down now.....................

And I bet even then you could have drilled straighter holes, with more material between them?

The worst are Nazis that drill totally pointless holes in classic bike parts.

Pretty mild compared to that other crankset he ruined recently

I wonder if he drills holes in all his Nazi stiff, you know, to lighten them up.
