Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 ... go with out, you weont be able to peddal and sit down you will mess your knees up like me! weirldy enough you dont find the urge to sit down and ride your bike (trials bike that is) after a couple of lengthy rides.

ScotchDave Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 You can always do what we used to do back in the day, zip-tie a seat to a seatless frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 You'll never be able to sit down when you're riding, and when you want to rest, just sit on the back wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Inspired make awesome pivotal seat posts and seat's for stocks but you will probably have to get a small seat post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 if you do go for a seat-posted bike, i wouldn't bother with mtb seats, hit up the bmx market!!the ultra-slim, light, comfy and CHEAP seats out there are numerous and have something to suit everyone's colour scheme!(plus they are usually pretty durable, my shadow conspiracy is ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
