Azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy a Breva 1100 nem túl alacsony nekem? 186 centi magas vagyok, kíváncsi lennék, hogy milyen tapasztalatai vannak hasonló magasságúnak. Az ülés nagyon kényelmes, de nem akarom a cserével kezdeni. DL 1000-el mostanában többször is vezetek hosszú távon, nyilván nagy a különbség a két bringa között.
Köszönöm.

I would like to ask if the Breva 1100 is too short for me? I am 186 cm tall, I would like to know what experiences people of similar height have. The seat is very comfortable, but I don't want to start with the replacement. I have been riding the DL 1000 for long distances recently, and there is obviously a big difference between the two bikes.
Thank you.
 
I'm 191cm (6ft 3") and don't find my Breva 1100* too low or cramped with the standard seat fitted. I can still ride it long distances without too much discomfort.

* I've owned it from new in August 2005 and it's covered just over 113,000 miles (182,000 km)

Hi Chris, have you ever used a Gell seat or similar on long runs, I find my seat goes very uncomfortable

I found that too. I actually had the seat raised using closed cell foam. The original foam is too soft and after about a hundred miles it felt like I was sitting on the seat pan. The closed cell foam made the seat an all day saddle. Also I had the seat thickness increased to open up the hip joint. I'm only 5"11" but older.
