1994 Schwinn Crisscross Seatpost
Hey everyone! I have this 1994 Schwinn Crisscross that is in need of a seat post. At one time it was updated with one that is too small and (obviously) it doesn't stay up. Does anyone know the seat post diameter so I can replace it? Thanks!

A simple solution would be to find an aluminum can. Cut a 1” wide strip about two inches long to use as a shim. Undo your seat bolt, pull up the post, and then slide the post and aluminum shim into the seat tube. Clamp it tight. It should hold just fine.
