no, u dont
u have a homemade airseat
a very comfy homemade airseat (and much neater than my ducttape special) but it’s not a KH
good call, i’m in for a new seat post and may just get a decent seat if there’s a ‘big brown truck’ flying over
I beg to differ! I sms’d Craig and asked him and he said it was a KH. I’ll show you the message at the club tonight!

I got my youngest a 16" Torker CX when she was 5 1/2 yrs old and had to cut the seat post so the seat could go all the way down to the top of the seat tube just for her to fit on it.
She is shorter than average. Now, two years later, she still only has three inches of seat post showing on the 16. Her main ride has switched to a 20" now that has a short seat tube and 102 cranks. Barely fits on that on.
I’m just repeating what Craig wrote. Maybe he misunderstood my question and told me what’s on HIS coker at the moment! I wanted to know what seat is on his old coker (ie the coker that is now mine) as everybody wants to know what went in to it as it is so comfy compared to the other seats out there - even your self-adhesive airseat!

Steve, how tall is your little girl? The blurb on the 16 inch Torker says you need an inseam of 21 inches. Then again, the blurb on the 12 inch Sun says the same thing. I am confused. This is, however, not an unusual state of affairs and I’ll manage.
HMMM If I take surface shipping it’ll take about 2 months to arrive. Think I can convince her to eat all her vegetables in an attempt to grow that 4 inches in that length of time?
How long did she take to learn? I assume she needed a lot of help? What protective gear did you get for her? I’m thinking helmet, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards if I can find them in her size. I’ve been being a good example and wearing mine so hopefully she’ll follow suit.

Jayne,
I’ll pull some measurements over the weekend, I think the inseam of 21" is for the standard seat post, it can be less if you cut the post.
Here are some pics from fall of 2002:

And then maybe pull an old sock over it for protection. This is
