Here is one for problems with stuff bending.
I only weight 170 pounds so when I felt the seat tilting back I just thought it was a loose seat bolt. :shock:

This came right after I had to re-weld my stick shift this morning.
That is two problems and things always seem to come in 3's for me. Worried about what is next.
 
Maybe try a thicker wall tubing, the lucky 7 by design is a lever to bend the seat post. Even if you're not that heavy.
 
Ye, I figured the cantilever was probably the problem. I had a piece of 5/8th solid threaded rod that fit up inside it real tight so jammed that up there and welded it on. I also extended the whole tube since I felt it was a little short to begin with. Hoping this helps.
