vintage flashback (early days of the shore) - i recall tyler (super-t) klassen cobbling together what we believed was the first telescoping (non - dropper) seatpost. lots of the bikes we were on at the time (dh rigs, more or less) had short / interrupted seat tubes, and this was a kind of brilliant hack that made them much more viable uppy, as well as downy rigs. seemed intuitive, but there was nothing like it at the time, and though we agreed it was probably a viable product to bring to market, said venture never progressed beyond the tailgate beer swilling stage. lo & behold, norco started selling them a year or so later.
