    :(

    Hi all,

    I built this bike over the last 5 months but I'm having a wee/big problem.

    Firstly I'll show you the bike

    picture.php?albumid=1998&pictureid=11860

    Right here is the problem, the saddle is to low for me.

    I have the saddle at its highest height but it still about 3 to 5cm to low:(

    Can you get an extension for this or am I fooked ???????????

    Thanks

    Shane

    that's an integrated seatpost, right? don't think you can get an extension. did you cut it yourself?

    Yes an Integrated seatpost and no i didn't cut it.....I bought the frame second hand and it was cut when i got it.....what about a longer clamp and more spacers?

    Without knowing what seatpost clamp you have or what year the bike it etc. it's hard to say how screwed you are. A cursory google does suggest that there are different lengths of seat post clamp available. If you've already got the long one and it's not enough then there may be no easy way of making the bike fit you.

    God, this is not looking good at all....I have the 17mm 2008 DIAMOND SHAPE seat clamp.......maybe the 40mm is an option....thanks for the info.
