Hey bikecop,
Location earth, funny. I bent the pipes over my gas stove. So yes, heat. If you do a Youtube search youll find a lot of stuff about bending PVC pipe with heat. Its pretty easy. This bike rides good but still learning the whole python thing. I wish I could find a way to protect/preserve the duct tape on this thing, its gettin a little worn from riding. I mean crashing, lol. Good luck on ur seat.
