Sprint GT Seat Height

Hello,
Is the seat height of the gel seat the same as the standard seat or somewhere in between the low seat and standard seat. The reason being, I'm considering buying a Sprint GT and the Demo bike I tried out is a bit on the high side that I'm accustomed to. I have an inside leg of 29" and would prefer my feet to be more or less flat on the ground for stability.

 

Hi

Dunno about the gel seat but I went for the low seat (I have the same inside leg size) and can just about get the feet flat.

 

Am I right in saying that the standard seat is adjustable?

 

I don't think so... I purchased the lower seat as I'm a short arse. :smile:

 

Maybe I'm getting confused with the tiger which has adjustable seat hight.

 

Please let me know how you resolved this problem. I am faced with the same thing.

In answer to this I had a sprint GT with a 29” inside leg and found it to be on the tall side. But the way you sit on the bike makes you feel high up.
Definately a bike you sit on rather than in. Other than that a very capable bike.
I got rid of it for that reason.
Seat was the gel seat which is standard on the GT.
Was never able to get hold of a short seat to try it. Most people take seats to the likes of Tony Archer and get them re profiled.

 

I have just bought a 95 Sprint and I find the seat to low. I am 6'2".

Not only that but I find the whole riding position odd.

Looking on eBay for a thicker seat but they all look the same as mine.

It's no big deal, I am going to remodel the seat by fabricating a shaped steel platform on the front section and lifting the foam upwards and recovering.

Lifting or lowering a seat 25mm makes a lot of difference either way, done it a few times before.
