Thanks to my mother I am 5'4 with short legs! Even tho I have a lowered seat on the Breva I'm still on my tippy toes. What is the best way around this? Cost isn't a factor as I intend to keep the bike.

I think that a few of the club members have had seats done (for one reason or another), the guy that they have used is over Capalaba way (I think), you could ring Tom Newell, as they have probably had it done through him or gotten on to the guy through him.
Any one here have any specific info?

John Moorhouse at 3239 Old Cleveland Road, Capalaba is the seat bloke.

Excellent work and highly recommended. :thumb:

Don't send him an e-mail, he doesn't answer them! He does answer telephone voice messages though.

Ring him up and explain what you want. He's always busy! :roll:

I've had work done by John and would also happily recommend him. He likes to get you and the bike out at his place and measure the whole deal with you seated on the bike. Worth a chat anyway. Probably work out a lot cheaper than making changes to the suspension, if that is even possible.
