The seat post that is. The duct taped blue bar is going to be the new seat post. I want to cut the old one flat but i dont want to take it out completely for support reasons. I want the seat to sit close to the rear tire but not to close. Im thinking hard about a bannana seat but am unsure right now. Any feed back would be great. Im debating on wether to stretch the front or not.At the bottom is a pic of my jamis earth cruiser ... change bike. It needs more finishing work but rides great!
