Carbon fiber seat for 6'9" guy

I don't know if it helps, but the new "grasshopper" from HPVelotechnik has an adjustable carbon fibre seat. I dont know whether this would adjust enough for you, but it might be worthwhile checking with them. The website is www.hpvelotechnik.com

Best of luck

Is there anyone out there who can advise me as to a specific brand that might be able to fit me? M5 versus others? Thanks! Dan Bennett

Given that I am 6'2" and that the large Optima fiberglass seat was too large for me (the medium
CF seat fit perfect) I would expect that the X-Large seat from Optima may fit you pretty well.
After Optima is a Dutch brand which happens to be the country with the tallest population (on
average). Craig

Seat size is not really dependent only on height. Much depends on torso length so be careful I have
seen people 6'2" and 6"3 elect for different size seats. The 6'2" rider had a long torso and was
comfortable with a large M5 seat the 6'3" rider with a shorter torso was taller but the standard
seat was a better fit.

What Jude said. I recall a chap about the same height as me - 6'3" or thereabouts. My Kingcycle had
a large frame with the seat as far back as it would go. He rode a medium. It looked /most/
peculiar...

Yeah, what Dave said... I'm 6'4"-ish and my wife's 5'10", yet our seat adjustments are nearly
identical. Peculiar, eh?
