Abstract

A saddle carriage is provided which is designed to fit onto a cycle stem and carry a saddle. The carriage comprises a support which can be secured to the cycle stem, the support having an upwardly concave, substantially horizontal, cylindrical sector which, in use, overhangs laterally relative to the stem. Superimposed upper and lower jaws are provided for gripping portions, e.g. wires of the saddle, the lower jaw having a lower surface which conforms to the cylindrical sector of the support. A nut and bolt or the like are provided for holding the jaws together, and the lower jaw or the support has a slot which permits relative displacement of the lower jaw and the support despite the presence of the bolt.
