Bikes: Vello Strida Day 6 Cruzbike

A person 4'9" to 6'2" can ride a Strida comfortably. I have witnessed young people less than 4'9" being able to ride the Strida. The standard seat mount found on the Lt model adjusts by removing the rack and saddle and loosening the botls. There is a high range defined by a pin in the frame tube that has a high and low position.
The Q/R seat mount adjusts without doing the above removal. The Q/R seat mount is standard on the SX and the 3 speed EVO Srida bikes. Also I have just posted a review on my site of a rider 6'4" who finds the Strida comfortable.

cheers Bill
