I'm trying to avoid lowering the bike for now. I am looking to try my luck getting a lower seat so i dont mess arround with the ground clearance. I think if i can get 2-3 cm of the seat then she'll be good. I think i'll end up cutting some foam out of the original seat...the replacements ive seen for sale are ridiculously expensive. Even if i'll lose some cushioning, id rather have a firm foot on the ground than a numb bum :)
