I agree that the modern style seat post would not look right on the giraffe bike. This looks right. Thanks Mitch for videoing all this so expertly.

I think my favorite part is that you picture the object in three dimensions and work out the details while you’re lying in bed late at night so that by morning you can sketch it out and know exactly how to go about it. And then your machining experience allows you to streamline the process. And the result is art.

I love that you're going with Nickel plating! So many ppl who do restorations or old school period builds like this incorrectly Chrome plate everything when the vast majority of plating back in those days was actually Nickel. That and a Nickel finish just looks so much cooler than Chrome does. 👍👍

I find the inexpensive 5C square/hex blocks are a bunch easier to use than setting up the rotary table for small stuff like the bolt heads. An old-school four-point wrench would be a sweet accessory to make for such a nice post.

I do like your taste in seats. I too had wondered what i could do about a seat with some suspension. I had already just put one of those old school banana seats and sissy bar posts because i wanted a bigger seat, also for some storage area underneath the seat. Still not sure what ill settle for, but i like watching your videos and i think you have some really good ideas. Thank you Paul and Mitch for the videos 😊

Thanks BG. Try penetrating oil. Get the frame upside down and squirt through the seat tube bottle bosses. You may have to use heat, which will probably hurt the paint. And "careful" force in the right amount. Good luck!
