Abstract

An apparatus for adjusting tension in an elongated bicycle saddle. The apparatus includes a frame underlying the saddle and having one end in abutting contact with a flaired trailing portion of the saddle and the other end in proximity to a narrow leading portion of the saddle. An adjustment yoke is connected to the other end of the frame and provides a bearing seat for abutting reception of an adjustment member. A thrust bearing member extends through a downwardly contoured tip portion of the saddle and carries the adjustment member such that axial tension of the saddle may be facilely adjusted through the tip of the bicycle saddle.
