my new temporary bikee
I borrowed it from a friend. It's 2" smaller and 13 lbs heavier than my bike. It has shorter crankarms, and I can't get the saddle height right, because none of the seatposts I have is long enough. I installed my own saddle, and pedals, but it still feels very weird. Oh well... at least I can bike again.

I had the same problem when tyring to use my DJ bike for XC use, so I just found a steel tube and wedged it in the seat tube.

yea, the height looks quite funny actually on that 17" frame. It is just about 2-3 milimeters above the minimum insertion mark 
still about an inch low for me though

It's a very cool bike, with a nice paint-job, 3 internal gears, and reverse-pedal brake. It's not for long rides though, may be just for biking around the block or something like that. 48 lbs!!! I can take a picture, if you want to have a closer look.
