Greetings Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 How can you upgrade that saddle? I say you clean that bike and take some nice pics. It deserves them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmeh-Time Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 How can you upgrade that saddle? I say you clean that bike and take some nice pics. It deserves them. yeah theres clearly no room at all for a proper saddle of any kind without having an ungainly seat post showing it wouldn't look right at all, the bars are actually not that bad but the stem could do with some rise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve sturt Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Upgrade the saddle, stem, and risers. To what and why? The saddle is staying, but the front end does feel a little low. Im not exactly tall though so probably feels better to me than it would to most. I just threw it together with the parts off of a Coust St Blaise that I have. Im not into cleaning it unless its filthy. I only really ride in the woods, so its always dusty, and it doesnt get seen by the public very often. Tons more fun than the Coust ever was.
