I'm building my first BMX bike from a 1997 Schwinn Super Stock frame I got on craigslist for $40. It'll be used for street and messing around mostly, nothing crazy as I am just learning.



Full 4130 frame, 1 1/8 straight head tube, American BB, V brake mounts, 26.8mm seat tube.

I am putting an S&M Pitchfork on it with a standard EC34 Chris King headset. I also have a period correct Schwinn Six Shooter stem coming from ebay, and some S&M Hoder bars. Other component choices are up in there air.

The only 26.8 seatpost I have in my parts bin is an NOS Dura Ace 7410, the NJS labeled one made by Easton. Am I stupid to consider using a road seatpost on this or will it not matter?
