I am 6' tall and habitually ride my Mini with the post hyper-extended by two inches or a little more. 32" inseam. I weigh 165 lbs. I have ridden the bike about 2500 miles like this. The longest single ride I've taken was 15 miles, farthest I've ridden in a day probably about 40 miles.
I know, I know, hyper-extending the seat post is probably a bad idea, but I have not found a workable alternative.
