Bike from the Dead
I live for the CABE
Small update for today: I need to replace Mutt's seat post. The one that came with the frame is just ever-so-slightly bent, and I don't have a replacement currently. I'll probably post a want ad on the forums later, but I'd like to check with my contacts to see if they have anything first. If they have the seat post I need, they may even have some other parts I can use, and I wouldn't have to mess with shipping, just driving. I just might have to wait a bit as the weather here in Oklahoma just got a lot colder, and is going to be even uglier in the next few days, and I'd hate to ask my contacts to look for a specific seat post when it's freezing outside.
I took some measurements of the seat post I have, as well as the seat tube inner diameter, between yesterday and this morning.
Thing is, while my seat post has a 16mm/0.625in diameter up top, the banana seats I'd use need a later 22mm/0.875in diameter top. Granted, I could probably get away with using a smaller seat clamp and some washers, but if I could get something that's just a simple bolt on, it'll make everything that much easier.
So in short, I need a 12.5" long seat post with a roughly 20mm/0.775in body diameter and a 22mm/0.87in upper diameter, or something close to that.
