Looks like a slightly undersized seatpost. Or are you talking about the cable stop, which I find kind of cool?

Looks like the doohickey on a bicycle where the seat stick thingy goes in

It takes a 27.2. That's a Ritchey WCS 27.2.

Only one way to find out for sure. Unless of course you have x-ray vision.

Looks like a crack from an under-sized seatpost.

Is that Phil McCracken's bike?

This.

If it's a Ritchey '27.2' post, you probably have some recourse... if you bought it new.

Ritchey specifies a 27.2 post and that's a 27.2 Richey WCS post. Unless Ritchey reamed it larger at the factory, that's stock.

Apparently that fastback seatpost binder has a propensity to crack:

I have a 27.2 WCS one bolt post. Its a tad undersized. Replaced it with a Fizik.
