Oh blimey. Bet I have minimal in mine now I’ve put the seat for my hight. What size seatpost (diameter) was they ?. I will purchase a long one if mines to short.
It’s only ever been ridden on road. He was never an off roader. He would have had a road bike. But he had a bad back so stuck to mountain bikes. I’ve just had a good look though 👍🏻.
