We hardly see any of these on the market in any size, especially in nos condition (and still in their original retail box). They appear to be very well made, with thick aluminum alloy pillar tubing (that is ribbed on the inside) and good quality aluminum alloy headparts. The functional quality appears similar to some of the nos Campagnolo seatposts we also have available, but the finish work is not quite as nice as the Campy models. More specifically, the pillar has been polished, but the finish-work is not on par with the mirror-like finish of the Campy seatposts...although it's still nice. Shimano has also branded the pillar with the label "Shimano 600" and although understated, it's a nice touch that identifies the brand/groupset.

In terms of condition, the small lot of these seatposts are still retail boxed, so they show fairly well. Although, I do see some blemishes (i.e., marks/scratches/scuffs) on each unit and I don't know that the finishing/polishing work is quite as nice as some of the vintage Campagnolo seatposts we have dealt with over the years. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from considering one of these seatposts, as they are still fairly nice and quite rare, but I have a habit of sharing everything I see in person (good or bad)...even if some of my observations do not show up in the pictures. Listing Update...Please also understand we may have multiple units available, but we will update the pictures to reflect the next seatpost to sell (so the seatpost pictured is the exact seatpost being offered next among the units we have left in stock). I've also attempted to take some close-up pictures of all sides of the pillar, so you can see the blemishes I've attempted to describe above.
