Where can I find one of these layback seatposts? In the BMX world I'm pretty sure this design is called a Zip style seatpost.

I can find 7/8" ones on ebay, but they are not the required 1" size and the layback part doesn't look long enough. I think these were offered for new Whizzers at one time.

Anyone know a source?
Thanks

When converting your new edition Whizzer to the "layback" seat post, it is wise to consider the stress. I know of several frames that had to be welded and re-enforced where the seat post connects to the frame. The Whizzers were sporting average weight riders [175 lbs to 225 lbs]

Have fun,

Yes, I read your prior warning. I am wondering if a beefier clamp might help distribute some of the stress?
