Keepin it real(istic)

i just build bikes to fit me, as i make steel seem like a soft clay to which i can mold my creation..or something like that. :lol: but the slammed seat thing really is comfy for me.

I like my seat low even though I am just shy of 6'. Here is my Huffy Cranbrook I ride at work. Even with the seatpost all the way down it wasn't low enough. I found some brackets that allowed me to relocate the seat post back 3" further. Now I am almost on top of the back wheel.

Hard to see, but that's a quarter in there.

I was always wonder why anyone would need to raise their seat at all, till I realized most folk are of normal height, and I am a wee lad at 5'4 haha; but its cool that most go a step further a rig stuff up to drop their seat even further 8)

I'm short so all my bike are low as possible. So when I first built a bike for the wife it was weird raising the seat, she's 6' and I'm 5'3".

What else is there to say but set it up how you like it, and if someone doesn't approve, it's their problem, not yours.
