Seat rail?

[jakers1975]

Hey guys. Got my Dean together tonight and took it for its maiden voyage. Big problem. My legs are to short to make a decent pedal stroke. Got the saddle down as far and forward as it goes. What can I do?

See slowriderz in the for sale section for a lucky 7 seat post turned forward will bring you forward .

Does anyone know about this "seat rail" on this Basman?

Like stated above, contact slowriderz, he will bend anything you want. He has made two for me, one for a Ruff and they look great. Plus they also serve as a club if needed. Be careful riding that bike around corners with those long cranks.

These are always an option.

I was thinking about pedal blocks. I wasn't expecting to find anything as fancy as these snoopy ones though. eBay?

Kingfish's suggestion is hilarious, but please, if you're over the age of 7, do not use pedal blocks. Get a 90degree post. Get shorter crankarms. Do something, but leave the pedal blocks to the little kids.

Problem solved. Fabricated my own project 346 seat rail. Looks a little rough but after I clean it up and paint it she will be good.

Why didn't you tell us you weren't a putz with tools?

Well I saw the Project 346 seat rail for the Basman and I decided I could make one. I work at a custom fab shop lol.

Well, this thread took a very unexpected turn for the better.... once you finish those welds up, it should be good to go...
