Saddle Set Ups

Another post got me thinking about different ways to mount seats. Thought we could share them here.

Here's a photo I took a while back that I thought could be used on a bicycle.

I like this thread. It's a problem for me. I have bad knees and need my seat back further. Any pics would help me formulate what Im going to do. Thanks

I wish I did. I do have an engine, wheels and a seat for a 1913 Reading Standard. I hope to someday make them into a btr like the one in the picture.

Try this, take an old parking sign, cut with a jigsaw to the shape you want. Next take an old Persons, Troxel, or whatever and remove the springs. Where the front spring ataches to the seat frame grind you a slot in your new seat pan and slide your frame into it. Now just mount the rear of the frame w/carriage bolts, slap on some foam and cover w/ your favorite leather. That's what I did on my Boardtrack project because I couldn't find a seat that looked low enough/right for my frame set-up. You know there wasn't any springs on those old bikes! Hardtails forever/ suspension never
