Description
This classic layback BMX seatpost (22.2mm x 380mm) is a must-have for old school BMX builds, restorations, and retro bike projects. Finished in durable chrome with a traditional candle/quill style design, it delivers the perfect mix of strength, simplicity, and authentic vintage styling.
Manufactured from 1.8mm thick steel, this seatpost is built for long-term reliability and everyday BMX use. It has been ISO 4210 tested, meaning it meets recognised international safety and performance standards for cycling components.
The layback design allows the saddle to sit further rearward, giving improved rider positioning and comfort—ideal for freestyle BMX setups, cruisers, and classic builds where correct geometry matters.
With its clean no-logo finish, this seatpost is perfect for restorations where authenticity is key. The included minimum insertion mark ensures safe installation and correct fitment every time.
Whether you’re restoring a Raleigh Burner, Haro, GT, Skyway, Mongoose, or other iconic old school BMX, this seatpost is a perfect match for period-correct builds.
