Try the "WANTED" section of the forum. Gary

I've had to do custom weld jobs on the ones I have, there's a seller over on the for sale forum that makes them out of solid steel shaft for a good price.

I just picked up 2 of them for my 63 Schwinn from the guy here, slowriderz. I'm happy with them.

Aren't 70's Schwinn seatposts 7/8"? If that's the case, an old school BMX layback seatpost should work.

13/16"

If you have a 7/8" then almost any bmx from the 80's will work. However, many schwinn's from the 60's are 13/16". In that case, that was a rare bmx size used by pk ripper and very few others. I've seen Tuff-Neck lay back posts in that size as well. Not cheap. Getting one made by a welder is probably cheaper if you have 13/16".

Wald has made seat post shims forever, and they're usually under a buck a piece. I have stuck black ops layback posts on the last few bikes i've built and really like them so far. some chrome polish and a tooth brush will take the ugly logo off them in seconds.
