Integrated Seatpost - cut it off? (Subrosa DTT)

Hi All
Almost done on my DTT build so although I have not ridden it yet, I can not imagine that Im going to get on with the low seat. So, Im considering cutting it off and putting on a regular clamp so I can install a standard post.
About 1 year ago, someone on here did exactly this to a MkII DTT but cant find their details.
So, would you do it? Would it reduce the frame's value? Any tips on a good finish? I am pretty darn careful with this sort of thing so Im confident I can make a good job of it..
Thoughts??
Thanks,
Paul

I think it was Steven Costa, GTnumber1 that did it, should be easy enough to do, and as they were available as a normal seat post too, I can't see it affecting values.

Personally I wouldnt do it as it will take away the frame's originality!
Keep it original

Cut it off Paul
If you are going to keep it, what does it matter mate. Too many bikes sitting around gathering dust these days. Ride it while you can

I wouldn't cut it off personally but if you are adamant you can get special clamps to guide a hack saw straight for this sort of thing
