Hi Benters, A post on Benrideronline by a guy who put an M5 seat on his Rocker reminded me of my
Rocket, which was my 2nd bent and I loved it, but it was a bit short for me. I'm 5'11' and rode it
in a way laid back position by cutting 3'' off seat posts. Now this put me over rear wheel. Each
bump hit on the mesh seat made me a trampoline performer. Rocket would be a great bent if wheel base
were extended to about 47'' and came with M5 glass seat option.

Not quite...The Giro sports a padded base/meshback seat. The Corsa has the
fiberglass M5 seat.Jude....///Bacchetta AERO St. Michaels and Tilghman Island.. Maryland Wheel Doctor Cycle and Sports,

Except you would have to replace the stock Rocket bars w/ Bacchetta bars which is what I am doing.
Cut off the Rocket riser (& bar) 1 cm above the top cable stop & insert a 1&1/8 MTB quill stem (120
mm extension appears to be about equivalent to the Bacch riser stem extension). 'Profile' makes a
nice light stem with a removable handlebar clamp & available in different extentions to customize
reach(@ about 1/2 the cost of the Bacch riser). Will post photo when I've completed the retrofit.
