Avery, maybe we should lower your bike slightly, seriously.
Hey, jackass, do the math. If 6mm is 1/4", then 3/4" would be 18mm. I was hoping to lower the seat 1/4", but instead, the gel seat raised it 3/4". but yeah, looks like that airhawk would raise the seating position, which I don't want.

But seriously, I've been thinking about lowering the bike a little. Don't want to unless absolutely necessary, though. Found some lowering links that claim to only lower the bike 5/8" which is probably the most I'd want to go.

Why not just shave the seat down?

Well, let me know and I'll bring tools to the rally. Also, my buddy is Soupy from Soupy's Performance-we once Eiffel Towered a girl- and I'm sure that I can get you a good deal. First we should determine if there is a ride height adjustment on that bike, maybe we can get 1/2'' without using parts. Some stock links even come with two sets of holes...

I got a seat guy that could maybe do somin to your stock seat... trim the insides where yout leg touches when they are down... helps with reach. Also do a gel or poly insert where you sit. Whatever... www.badassbikeseats.com Tell him I sent ya... give him a call. He has quick turn around time. Of coarse he can do all kinds of cosmetics to it, but you could also keep it simple which will keep the price down.

Love the Eiffel tower comment in the middle of all that. Wouldn't know anything about those.

Not sure if the stock links allow any adjustment or not, but I'll see what I can find out.

Why? This girl was a slut. She once got it on at a party with another girl in a room full of people. Our first "date" was me, her and this other girl. Very naughty to say the least.
