Hopefully Russel can work with you on seat height.

I tried a RDL on the K - it only made things worse - I sold it. I'm 5'9" - ended up with a pretty nice Sargent that had already been cut down. Been using it for years with no problems.

Hey Jim,

You are close to my height. Can you tell me why the RDL was worse?
I am looking at a couple now from IBMWR so this is timely.

Thanks
Don

Don - the RDL seat height was much higher than the Sargent I ended up using. The seat was also wider than the Sargent - that probably added to the problem. That was why I mentioned working with RDL on the seat height if you were going to buy a new one.

I guess it's worth trying one. You can always resell it.

I've decided to keep the Corbin for this upcoming season. If it works out, fine. If not, I will get a new RDL next winter as I think I could get used to sliding forward on it when coming to a stop. I like the idea of extra height to save my knees and be more comfortable on long trips.
