Which size fits the worksman? I've been snakebit lately with every decision I have made, have lost all my confidence, and hopefully someone has bought one.

This style works best and hides well. You just flip your seat guts (clamp) and then you don't even see the layback section. Worksman is 7/8". Old Schwinns are 13/16". New bikes are typically 1".

Pat makes a real nice seatpost. Easily hidden by the seat. I wanted to move my seat back more and just figured out i had the long end inside the bike!!! DUH

I make a long end and a short end on the post just for that reason, but I prefer the short end to mount the seat. Let's face it, this is a big overhung load and the big guys will eventually bend a post. Well, at least I think they will.

Hey you calling me FAT!!!

On my bike the longer end works better for the new seat i got for the board track look. The short end works better for my crusier look. Always nice to have options!!

My entire bike is a sportscarpat kit bike!! Im no frabricator so this was a nice way to go. Plus it also shows how nice his kit also makes into a crusier.
