I have the bolts tightened as tight as they will go. They will stip if I try to tighten them any more.
As for the post it is a quick-release so it looks like I will be buying a seatpost with a clamp without the quick-release. But I still need a solution to the seat not staying in place.
Thanks for all the replies.
Check the seat clamp on the top of the post, make sure no grease is on the fine teeth in it. Also double-check it's assembly.
If this bike is brand new and acting this way, take it back to the shop you bought it at and let them deal with it. Seatposts are generally very reliable....so having seat clamp issues is odd, to say the least.
