Wanted: Saddle/bolt for saddle

Posted on
  • I am looking for a saddle to fit my 531C frame. I am unsure about the specs, the seat-post is old, I have a ROLLS saddle atm, but some ahole tried to pry it away and as a result broke the bolt connecting the saddle to the seat-post.

    All I have is the seat-post, saddle and the 2 little grips that hold the saddle. I need the bolt and screw, else a new saddle altogether as I am bloody tired and not getting anywhere on finding the missing parts.

    Please would you kindly advise me as what the relevant sizes might be, nd post any offers.

    Thanks

  • It might help if you could post some pictures of the bits you've got, so that we can work out what it is that you need. Don't need a pic of the saddle (obviously) but 'the seat-post and the 2 little grips that hold the saddle' is a bit vague.

  • I think I might have one. Check here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread76610.html

  • Hey folks thanks for the feedback , here is the picture as per mikes request. I think the post is 27.2mm

  • I'll try to remember to have a look in the garage today and get back to you. If I forget, give me a shout tomorrow.

  • You'll be no better off with a new saddle...
    I've got a 27.2 seat post which has a slightly damaged clamp which you can have and use the bolt from (which is fine)
    Or Ive got an almost brand new, no name, silver post you can have for £8

    I'll pm you with some pics.

  • Found two seat pillars just like the one in the picture - I knew I had some. However, guess what is missing from both of them - the bolt and nut. Sorry. Best of luck with your search.

  • No probs, thanks for the help I appreciate it.

    SDW, I would appreciate a clamp and bolt if you are willing to part with it. Look forward to your pics.

  • Sorry, completely forgot- pics coming

  • Both the seatpost mentioned were 27.0,sorry.

    You can have this though

    That looks like exactly what I need, not sure if this will fit my clamp though, do you have a clamp with this?

    Also, where about do you live, i can cycle to pick it up. If it fits my seat and seatpost, I dont mind parting with a fiver.

    Regards

  • yeah i've got the clamp aswell but i think its slightly damaged... last time i used it i couldn't fully tighten it onto the saddle rails so it was still slightly loose... worked on one saddle fine but when i used a brooks with it, it didnt clamp properly.

    Anyway, send me a pm to arrange collection or whatever

  • I have consulted a friend of mine and we came to the conclusion that even with the new Bolt, it would not fit the seapost, as the seatpost is designed for the older <7mm bolts. Which is why this broke in the first place.

    Thank you for the offer though.
