Title: Seat clamp and seat post dilema
Post by: Gary72 on January 31, 2010, 07:49 PM: Building my wife's cruiser and cant decide on seat post and clamp combo. I bought a single bolt because it looks abit like an old Suntour one with the polished strip in the middle, But I dont like seat clamps when fitted back to front because the seat tube is slit at the front. Just looks wrong in my eyes. So I got a new TNT double bolt clamp as an option. Also now thinking about a chrome post instead of the fluted one :-\
I'm leaning towards the TNT with chrome post.
Any thoughts guys?

Do you have shares in SHELL or something, You must rack up some mileage. Or was that the day you picked up the cruiser?
