look at the length on that, although I'm not sure if it's been pushed in as far as the minimum insertion point seeing as it's leaning back

Post by: southern andy on December 17, 2013, 02:48 PM: Seatposts were high back in the day, maybe not as high as the ebay link but people seem to think they were all low like they are today. No way, i rode mine high when i raced, probably the same as the picture above. When i build bikes now i still put it quite high, it's how most of us rode so i build now, how it was then.

Post by: Gashead on December 17, 2013, 02:56 PM: Yep, they were always high.

Post by: factory pilot on December 17, 2013, 05:27 PM: Now that's an impressive length there Joff mate "wantit" :LolLolLolLol:

People have mocked the large seat post on my FST to be fair but riding both into and out of Wigan it was a godsend on the Toy Ride ;)
A much more civilised ride than my Streetbeat...it even makes me consider having a go at the racing at the next MK.....don't laugh boys...I'm only at the thinking about it stage!! : :D
