That depends if your Torker seat gets uncomfortable on longer rides.
I've only briefly tried the LX seat but found it too hard and felt like
I'd go numb easily because of the shape. The Nimbus Gel is much better
IMO, but I still go numb after 45 min. The KH Fusion Freeride is even
better, but not as easy to hold onto SIF as the other two.
If you're Torker is a 20 and want to go the cheap route, you could get
a 24" or 26" LX. A lot of the parts aren't very strong, but it'd be
fine for cruising around. The 20 comes w/ 125 cranks, & 150 on the 24,
& 170 on the 26.
I'd get the Nimbus II. Because it's cheaper, stronger than the LX, and
improves options for Muni down the road. I'd get the shorter cranks,
upgrade the seat to a KH freeride, and switch to Animal or Snafu pedals
w/ pedal protectors.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
