Has anyone had a problem fitting this seat on an existing seat post? The bracket seems much too small. Thanks to all who replied. I determined that the problem was that my "cross" bike has a 26.6mm seat post, and the seat bracket is built for a 7/8"...

I had this issue when I first tried installing it, and it took me a little bit to figure out. You don't have to use the mounting hardware that it came with; instead, I used the mounting from the seat I was replacing, and that worked just fine.

as long as you have a seat post that fits into the bike frame at one end of the post, and at the other end of the post, fits into the bracket that should of come with the seat. Any problems and the bike shop can do a cheap fix...

Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here. I just bought the large, and I am 5'10, but I have a 30" inseam and it fits ok and I have even had to adjust the seat up quite a bit more than I was expecting. I added a diamondback pillowtop saddle, since I am new to biking also and the saddle that it comes with was killing me. If you are mechanically adept, you can assemble the bike easily but it is good to have a REAL bike shop look it over, the box store assembled mine and it ended up scratched, with under inflated tires, the brakes squeaked, handle bars were not aligned properly, and the deraillers needed adjustment Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here.

I have a similar bike (kid's bike from the 50s) and had to do some rigging. My seatpost is also not a standard size so I bought a 1/2" U bolt and used the flat metal piece with the 2 holes to attach to my seatpost. They send a lot of pieces so you should be able to get it to work. Since every bike is different, it's not really a one size fits all but, they do try to accommodate everyone with what they send. If you're not really mechanically minded I would ask a friend who is to give you a hand.

The E, A, & V designs differ according to the angle they come off the seat post. To be safe, go to a bike shop and look at them...take your bike if you need to. Only the right one will work for your bike. Then come home and order it on line! Sad but true...this is what bike shops have become....showrooms. By the way, whichever one you get, will satisfy you if it fits the bike. A very nice system.

I bought this seat for my wife's bike (a Fuji) and had no problems. It doesn't come with any mounting hardware so if your bike doesn't have the same clamp style mounts that attach to the rails under the seat (see the tubular metal rods in the photo) you'd have to buy some kind of clamp too. Our bike already had it so it was a simple attachment.

I am 6'2 and just bought this bike. I have the seat post as far up as it will go and it is still too small for me. I mean, I can still ride it but my legs are not close to the correct angle when pedaling. I think it would be too small for anyone 6' or taller.

The clamp is made out of plastic as the others have said. There are liners in the jaws to protect the paint. They also have indicated that it will fit the seat post. I con't know about that one. It will most likely fit the seat tube that the seat post goes into. The seatpost itself? It will fit some for sure. A 27.2mm? I not as sure. I'd have to measure it to be sure. I've used it with the seat tube and it worked very well.

A seat post mounting clamp comes with the seat and was pre-installed. I am pretty sure the posts are standard size for most bikes. This one seems to be about 7/8". You could always use the one that came with the original seat for the Sedona Giant.

I looked at a couple of pictures of this Schwinn model. It doesn't look like it has the rear mounting posts that newer bikes have. Supposedly that isn't a problem because you can use P clamps to create mounting posts on the two tines or frame extensions that normally have these posts. However, I'm not even sure that the Schwinn sports world has two tines. (This wording is pretty awkward.) You may want to take your bike to a bike shop and ask an expert. You may only be able to use the time of rack that wraps around the seat post. I have one of those, and it works quite well.

The super cruiser saddle does NOT come with a post clamp. Remove the clamp from your old seat and install it on to the cruiser. It will then mount onto the post. It is quite simple to do!

Hello my bike seat post is 1" and I had to purchase one that tapered down to fit the seat mount of 3/4" It mounts in the very front and the seat comes and with a u shaped brace that mounts on the back of the seat and go's down to be mounted to the frame for support because of it mounting on the very front.

My bike is similar to a cruiser, and it fits. The issue is how much space is on the metal frame below the seat and before the other part of the frame juts out for the attachment to properly lock onto the frame. Most cruisers have enough space, but I couldn't tell you it will fit for sure.

I found it impossible to figure out as well. I had to take it to a professional bike shop and they managed to mount it and I DO know it required extra parts on their end. Once installed it was great! Just getting it there took more time and $$ that I would have wanted to invest. It was a gift for my son-in-law (on a Schwinn bike) or I would have tried to look and see exactly how they mounted it to the seat for you. Unfortunately, the bike is not here where I can see it... Sorry! Good luck!

I have a Murry that it mounted on NP but I also have a Fuji racing bike that it didn't fit. I think most low to mid range bikes have a standard seat post that it will fit on ....

Yes, the seatpost diameter is correct. Your frame will accept a 30.9mm post. This is the 5" version, so make sure that you will be comfortable with it fully extended by measuring your current seat post at the highest setting you can ride with (usually for climbing). I have two of these ave they are great.

The seat post on most children bicycles is the same diameter. The seat clamps to your existing post, so it should fit.
