Bikerumor Monday Mystery Pic

old campy seatpost adjuster. if you wanted to add or remove setback on a post, you’d use that thing to bend up forward or back. can’t do that with the new fancy carbon posts.

Used to straighten a steel or ti frame….

That’s the frame be good lever.

certainly a variety of leverage enhancing tool. “huffy” tool

Park Tool fork leg straightener

That’s actually a fork leg straightener. Used that bad boy many times back in the fork bending, pre-suspension early 90’s

Carrot Peeler

It’s not a part its a Tool! Great for aligning/bending many different things. Not just bike parts

That is the Park Crank arm straightener. The frame and fork straightener had a curved, serrated section for locating the pulling hook. Properly used, the crank arm straightener salvaged a lot of Astabula cranks. Improperly used, I watched a mechanic break the crankshaft when he tried to straighten the crank on a Garelli moped…

I enjoy the ole campy seatpost bit, but I guess campy humor just isn’t for everyone.

Park FAG-1 (not a joke)

To be honest the Campy seatpost comments are the only reason I read these things

Yup that Park Tool crankarm straightener. I have one in my shop and use it for bending some odd shaped tubes on on the frames I build.

I bent a ton of crap other than cranks with that tool.

And no, like the one guy mentioned, it is not for forks. He described that tool perfectly.

The one thing I have not bent with that tool is the unbendable campy post (The Chuck Norris of seatposts).

Pulling the Old Campy Seatpost out of retirement… I started posting as campy seatpost about a year and a half ago, and went into retirement after their NAHBS coverage BRMMP post that was nothing but campy seatposts. I started this as a monday routine, I have a desk job and I work in the cycling industry, It plays more to the repetitiveness of internet meme culture than anything. I’m glad that there are people carrying on the tradition and enjoying it still.
