Straight or bent?

[Gnarlyscoots]

Which are you? I am in a dilemma as to whether fit a straight post or lay back to my builds. I am not really sure what was available in 1983/1984 so I am looking for suggestions and pictures, if available, as to what I should be thinking of.

I do know that the Elina UL chequered layback was around then but what else??

Cheers

Im bent as fook. 

& I prefer laybacks, bit like tuffs I suppose, just a bit more BITD BMXy in my book.

Bent and straight But never a snake post

All depends on the bike. Layback for freestyle & straight for race is generally my rule.

Pooch is definitely bent though, Steve & Robbo told me.

straight !

Depends on the length of the top tube angle of the seatube and what length stem your using?

But if it is for what I think it is then definately straight post.

What's it for then..

Straight all the way for me, I am building a Cook Bros and I cannot bring myself to put a Cook layback on it.  Been looking at it on the bike for about 2 months and still don't like it.
