bmx seat on old school bike

[crt95]

I have a question for the bmx guys out there. I have a ladies schwinn suburban and I am wanting to install a bmx seat, only on problem the seat I want is PIVOTAL and I would need to use a pivotal seat post. I know for fact that the pivotal seat post is to wide for the bike, and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on how to mount the bmx seat and or seat post?

i dont know how high you need the seat to be.but.....if ya want it slammed you might be able to just mount it to the seat post tube itself and do away with the post

Slamming it down is a good idea. Do you know if you can brake apart a pivotal seat and replace it with rails?

Here are a couple of links to pivotal seat and seat post. The seat is attached by a bolt that goes through the top and then is in fixed position.

Did you take the Schwinn post into a bike shop to see if they have a new style post to fit? They do come in a whole lot of different sizes. Or if you could find an el-cheapo steel pivotal post that you could get welded to the original post at about the height you want to run it, that might work too.
