Notes from MyBikeThing
This SR Sakae CRY seatpost represents classic Japanese component engineering from the 1980s. Built with precision aluminum construction and featuring SR’s distinctive side-clamping mechanism, it delivers reliable performance with period-correct styling. What sets this apart is the combination of SR’s proven design and the CRY line’s unique side-clamp system, a hallmark of premium Japanese components from this era.
Condition
The post maintains excellent structural integrity with only minor removal marks. The minimum insertion line remains clearly visible, and the side clamp mechanism functions smoothly. Interested in vintage Japanese components? I’m Paul – let’s discuss your classic build!
You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition.
Workshop Wisdom
Carry an allen wrench to make adjustments to height and saddle position. Use standard bike grease during installation to prevent seizing – this ensures you can make future adjustments and prevents the post from getting stuck in the frame.
