Is there a longer seatpost available?

Is it possible to swap out the riser to get a more comfortable position for a taller rider?

(Good info to add to the website, maybe...?)

Magnus,

The seatpost is 500mm from bottom to the seatpost clamp, I do not think you will find a longer post. I have a friend that is 6'4" and rode my bike. It seemed fine for short distances...around the block. However, I think the top tube length may be too short for a tall rider. An option may be to replace the stem with a Zoom adjustable stem. Unfortunately, I can not guarantee this setup will work for you. If you are in the Philly area stop by and try one out.

Thanks,
Yan
