Progress of ERA 2139

[strictlypersonl]

Sitting in an FIA that we have in the shop, it looks like the race seat places me about 3/4" lower than the street seat, measured at the height of my line-of-sight. I only weigh about 160 lbs, so someone heavier might be a little lower in the street seat but, because of the lack of paddling, no change in the Comp seat.

Considering the lack of padding in the Comp seat, your comfort is pretty dependent on your butt's shape and its own natural padding.

Thanks Bob!

Part of the "fit" is to determine where your height is located, ie; in your legs or in your upper body. In my case, I have the upper body length of someone who could be 6' 3" and the legs of, say, Peter P.... Thus, in my GT the pedals are set relatively close to the seat just so I can reach them and my head touches the roof. I would like to sit lower and closer.

Perhaps a lumbar discectomy to remove some of those pesky discs in your back and thus shorten you down a bit?
