Hi,
I got a Schwinn Road Bike, 10 speed, from the 60's and the seatpost has a narrow diameter, especially the top part (where it gets even thinner). I can't really use the seatpost clamp (and seat post) for a new seat.
Anyone have experience how to convert something like this so it can take a new seat? Like a conversion piece that is put onto the top part of the seat post so I can stick it into a normal seat post clamp?
Hope this is understandable what I mean.
Thanks.

Any links to pictures or older threads is welcome, too. Just didn't know what keywords to use.
