If you do try it out, just be careful. You might end up losing a lot more than a broken seat post . Just make sure you wear armor plated shorts, if you know what I mean . Just thinking about getting a carbon fiber goose gives we the jitters.

Perhaps the post extended a bit on your MB, but I'm sure it extends a lot more on the Brommie. Like I said, be careful. It's not something I would try
