Any links to one fella?
I couldnt find many lay backs when i was looking on the bay

theRuler:


This sort of style seatpost, that kind of curve, if you have to run a layback!

Personally on a rider, I wouldn't run one at all, if you can get away with it.
You can gain more room (if you are really long limbed) with a longer reach stem.
Also you can slide the seat back on the runners a fair way.

I think renthal did the annodised ones, maybe.


No offence intended though, just that post you have with the bend half way up like that doesn't suit the bike, but only IMO.

Love the bike though.  The blue and chrome is a killer old school look. And those bikes ride really well.

I see what you mean fella. Mine just has a kink in the middle rather than a nice bend so to speak.
The seat is as far back on the rails as it will go.
So if I found a better post it may make it abit better to ride also.

Now you have flagged it up I keep looking at it now lol

e5dcb:
Got a GT layback post to fit now   ;D
