Campagnolo Euclid or possibly Record OR seatpost. Is the rear knob for an angle adjust?
A good way to get sterile!
Campagnolo MTB seatpost
quick release recumbent kickstand.
Seatpost for bike fitting. allows easy saddle change. turn knob in rear for angle adjustment
NutCrusher 2000??
Can’t remember the brand, but it is a seatpost/ pump. The seat clamp has a QR to remove the saddle when using as a pump.
Sure looks CAMPY-ish.
Quick release seat post for a fitting bike?
Its called a SEAT POST. Please post pictures that are actual ‘mysteries.’ This is truly pathetic.
Yep, A Campy Euclid or Centarur (it was an offroad group first) seat post. Post some bullet shifters sometime and lets see how many folks call them early grip shifts.
Campy’s first mtn bike seatpost. I believe that Chris Chance from Fat City Cycles advised them that all mtn bikes had quick release seatposts. Well, Campy thought that the QR was on the seatpost, not the frame as it should have been.. Guess it was lost in translation….
I retract my guess. It’s a Campy Hookah.
Roflol…I got a buddy who worked at Campy for a bit…I totoally believe Phil H….they still like that. But now they are a little more guarded. …lol
its a travesty!
It’s a left 1.5″ all mountain bottom bracket.
Answer from Jeff at First Flight Bicycles: “Campy Seat Post from their early mountain bike groups, probably Euclid/Centaur. Allows you to change the seat position with a quick release. Very overbuilt!”
Campy Euclid Seatpost – Campy’s first ill-fated attempt at addressing the mountain bike market. Sadly, the seatpost and pedals were the least laughable parts of the effort.
