    Low seat available, swap for high seat

    Hey all! Recently bought a mint 'R' reg @ (RD07?) and am lovin` it! Only small prob is that the previous owner was quite a bit shorter than me (I`m 6'2") and he has had the seat lowered, I find that I want to sit back on it for height but slide forward on it and my knees are a bit tucked up. It`s in great condition, has been profesionally done and some more comfy foam has been added to aid comfort. Is there any one who has a normal height seat, original or decent aftermarket, in good condition that would like to do a swap? Maybe with some cash from me if its a very nice aftermarket one!
    Pics avail on request, I`ll email them so they are a decent size/quality.
    Oh yeah, two of my mates have tried the bike and get on fine with the seat height, they are both around 5'10".
    Cheers, FERG

    Good point, didnt fancy all that pain. Think might be better with the lower seat.
