Abstract

A support for mounting a bicycle seat to the upper end of a support post of a bicycle frame includes a lower cradle member and a cooperating upper clamping member which are mounted on the post to hold and permit forward and rearward tilting of the seat. The cradle member has a downwardly opening post receiving slot formed therein having a curved inner wall connected to side walls extending outwardly at obtuse angles of approximately 140.degree.. A support member formed at the upper end of the seat post has a transverse fulcrum line at the juncture of two upper surfaces inclined with respect to one another for tilting the clamping mechanism and the seat. The support member has chamfered edges formed at the ends of the fulcrum line for engaging the side walls of the post slot at diametrically opposed surfaces of engagement to prevent transverse movement of the support and the seat with respect to the seat post.
