I have a customer with a newsboy with the exact
same problem. He purchased it around Oct '96 and his
seatpost keeps slipping. It seems to me that the Ti
collar on the seatpost dosen't clamp down with
enough force to secure the post. I removed the coll
and installed a alloy UNO clamp around the seat tube for a quick fix
and after a 500 mile trip the post didn't slip at all. I think the
clamp needs to be beefier. The frame has been sent back to Merlin
and they plan to install a new allum. sleeve in the seat tube.
