Re: [ST] Anyone doubt their Sargent Seat purchase?



Todd,

The points you make were the exact same way I felt about my Sargent the
short time I had it.  I sent it back for a refund.  Seems like the taller
guys had no problems with it, but under 6', it wasn't such a great fit.

I have a Corbin now, but took a bit of fiddling to make it fit.  It's OK,
but still liked the way you sat on the stock seat better.
