Re: el Bandido (Layed back and Slammed)

LAYED BACK AND SLAMMED

heres my custom layed back seatpost i made out of some old handlebars

old schwinn handlebars


cut off the end


drilled a couple holes in it and grinded it down


bolted it on to the seat


put it on the frame also put a 26'' wheel on the rear
 
Cool laidback post, but I hope there is more than 1/4" in the seat tube. :shock: :mrgreen:
