Spotted this in the Vans store in Camden.I did point out that their bike building skills were not quite up to par....and was told this is how oldschool seatposts were supposed to be fitted.

I've seen a few pics of this done on Trm's bitd, because of the strange seat tube angle

How can you be that savvy to know this is a cool bike but not savvy enough to know what way the post is supposed to go..

Bonkers..

PK.RIPPER · « **Reply #21 on:** September 06, 2013, 11:57 AM »

FFS just go into the shop and tell them it looks like poo and to sort it out, that build just makes old school look shite.

fischflo · « **Reply #22 on:** September 06, 2013, 12:17 PM »

That's right .... looks proper mutated

. Someone call Haro.
"Err ... this is Bob Haro. I hear you have built up a repop 1986 Master in your window display ..... with the seat post ..... WHICH IS LAYBACK ...... .....(pause) ..... the wrong way around! Please get this sorted, as you're simply making my bike look like a straight-out mutuation, yeah ... like one of these fruit-flies with a leg in their face! ....what were they called again..... drollyso...., drosolily.... wtf, whatever - this situation is unacceptable. So would you please get out a hex key and ...... etc etc"

PK.RIPPER · « **Reply #23 on:** September 06, 2013, 06:56 PM »

Stem pushing down, bars forward, post turning round and a set of blue brake cables then it would be sorted.
