I'm surprised the saddle isn't up any taller if you're 171cm tall? Guess you must have short legs after all!Thanks, The paint renovation and clear coat came out much better than I thought it would. A couple of drips in places, but should be able to sort those out. And yes! Good spot!! The front tyre has the wrong rotation, I only noticed when I uploaded the pictures I have since fixed this .
I'm just over 5ft 7in too (171cm). I was worried the 18in might be too big, but it's not, and is great to ride, but I do have the seat right down. I think it is to do with proportions, I'm the same height as my brother (who is 5'10'') sitting down...I just have short legs .
A new shifter arrived today, so hopefully will see if that can fix things...
I picked up a 1988 22" Hard Rock the other day to rob the components off it. Clearly it's too big for me as a proper MTB, but I could still ride it fine (with the saddle low!) and it was one seriously comfy ride vs. a typical early 90s machine with your head down and arse up position.
Leave the clear coat/lacquer for as long as possible to harden properly to enable you to cut-back the drips cleanly. Good luck with the new shifter!
