Re: [St] Lowering an 01

Did I not read in one thread that you can get a little more by adjusting the rear wheel hub so the bike sits lower?

Feel like a real biker today, damp!

Oh, I *can* ride the Sprint, and I have been for years.  It's
just that I know the price is that I'll occasionally tip it
over when I hit a marginal low-speed situation.


>some clever shaping might do it.

That's my plan.  I just bought a used seat on Ebay, and I'm 
going to send it to Sargent.  Has anyoen used them to lower
and narrow a Sprint seat?  If so, how much did it get you 
and are you happy with the results?
