Anyone ever see a solid steel seat post before?

I have one that's about 2 feet long and has a solid bar inside it, looks factory.... weighs about ten pounds, LoL! It hangs out of the mattress on my girls side just in case!

Found a prewar shelby airflow with a seat post identical to yours barry that I believe was original to the bike

I don't know if it was intentional or not but something about your girl keeping a 2' long rod by the bed "just in case" immediately sends my mind to the gutter.

Agreed. He better never piss her off ... you'd take a beating with something that solid & 2 ft long

Here's a solid steel seat post like this. It weighs a ton! I don't think a manufacturer would waste all that steel making a seat post. If they made the whole bike that way, it would be so stinking heavy you couldn't pick it up! Anyone heard of such a thing like this one?

I do own some lucky seven seat posts but have never seen this style before.

Check it out.

Here is a pic of "MY" solid steel seat post on my 1937 Westfield Sterling. The bike came with the original, very short, solid lucky 7 that rendered the bike totally useless to me........Quick trip to Lowes for some stock 36" long solid steel rod, measured off 16", put the cut-off wheel to it, and instant "correct" seat height, "for me". The leftover piece will become a long lucky 7 for another bike.

You're welcome.

Colson "L" seat post (like the one in #5 above, but without the chrome) was too short for comfortable pedaling. It measures 3/4" at the frame end and 5/8" at the seat end. So the Miscellaneous Metal Bits Bin yielded up a 3/4" tent stake. Use of a hacksaw resulted in a solid seat post. Also needed to fabricate an aluminum shim to allow use of a seat with a 7/8" clamp. That Firestone (Colson made) frame is so heavy the additional weight of a solid post is negligible.
