I have offered her $250 but she won't take it. She is a very friendly, sweet person but one of the most hard-headed women that I have ever known. She won't admit that she has made a mistake, since she got the bike for such a great price! I have seen her buy hiking boots a size too large because they were half price. Unfortunately she could still out-hike me in them.

I wouldn't even think of cutting the seat tube, just the post and then only a couple of inches.
