Title: Old school saddle to pivotal seat post
Post by: Clean on April 03, 2017, 09:58 PM: OK, OK, so...... I am convinced that this question must have been asked before, but I am too lazy to search, and google threw up diddly squat......

Does anyone know how to attach an old school saddle, with rails and shit, to a new school setup (25.4mm, typically pivotal)?

Thanks,

Dirty. x

:2funny:

Plenty of post choices for you mate as a lot of 90's and noughties road bikes and mountain bikes use integrated 25.4mm seatposts, I have one on my '91 Marine Bear Valley in the garage. I'd get to a local scrapyard and salvage one, but be careful as more modern ones use 27.2mm as well i think. I could also be wrong, but wasn't the Shimano DX seatpost combo available in 25.4mm as well if you really want the oldschool look on a newschool bike mate? Might be difficult to find but if you want to get it really oldschool looking that would be my answer :coolsmiley:

wouldn't you need to drill a hole through your saddle to tighten the bolt though?
