Anyone have a K75 with a low seat in the Twin Cities area?
« on: April 11, 2018, 10:29:49 PM »
I have kind of an odd request.

If you have a K75 with a low seat, and are somewhere in the vicinity of Minneapolis/St. Paul, would you be willing to let my wife sit  on it in exchange for some beer?

This isn't some fetish thing, if you're wondering. If I just wanted to see a girl on a bike, I have a few I could do it with.  She saw a K75 and thought it had a cool look she might like, but we aren't sure if it would be OK size-wise.  If a low seat K would work, I could look for one with any seat and then see if I could mod it, or find a low seat somewhere.  We just don't want to get into a project just to get rid of it again if it doesn't work out.

Why don't you measure her inseam from crotch to heel? That could be more fun while you're waiting for the perve to make an entrance. On Hawksley's BMbikes site, the seat height of a low-seat model K75 is 29.9 inches. You should be able to get a general idea of whether it should be eliminated as an option altogether with those two measurements in hand. Use the model at http://cycle-ergo.com/ to determine how she'll look on it. You'll be able to enter her inseam, and other pertinent measurements. The seat height of the graphic model bike is 30.9 but you can lower it an inch in the Vehicle Customization option.

Anyway, can't hurt and its probably less risky than buying a perve a beer although I suppose that could be thrilling. :giggles

As well as a low seat you can also do the following. Drop the front forks through the trees 1/2",  get her a set of lifts, get her a pair of boots with thicker soles. If you do the boots and the lifts, get the lifts first to make sure they will fit the boots. There is a shorter rear shock available, but it will make it more difficult to get the bike onto the centre stand. With all the above mods except for the rear shock I went from tiptoe to flat footing.
I have since lowered my stock seat and no longer need the above.
