bent frame?

Hello all, The seat on my Schwinn uni points a few degrees to the right. It's
nothing major, but it is enough that the right side of the seat is
significantly more worn and so is my right thigh. It appears that if i look at
the unicycle from the side the holes in the seat are not perpendicular to the
wheel. Has anyone experienced this before? Can a new seat post or seat fix
this? Thanks, Jeff

Thanks, If that's not enough I might try to widen the holes with a drill or file
or something so that I can move it around more.

[color=blue]>In my experience (with 3 Schwinns), this is very common. As such, a new seat[/color]
[color=blue]>post is not likely to fix it. You find variations in alignment on individual[/color]
[color=blue]>holes on the same seatpost. I bought a round file and elongated the hole so[/color]
[color=blue]>that it had more play. I then aligned it properly and tightened the seat post.[/color]
