Old school seats on new school bikes

[paulb113]

Who runs an old school seat on a new school bike? And how have you done it. I Have seen the pivotal posts that have a adaptor on to fit onto railed seats etc. Thanks

run a mid seat post Paul instead of a pivotal

So are mid posts 25.4? Chrome laybacks?

[oldtired]

not all were, 1 inch posts started being used again when frames got tougher, using bigger tube sets ,  hence the mid ref, 

 i have got an 80's frame with a 1" chrome layback in it.

I've got a railed saddle/post on my NS bike, can't stand pivotal saddles (not keen on having that little orifice bang in the middle of it)

It's like giving your bike a stinky belly button
