It's a good thought - I called Russell and asked them about it. Upon their request, I sent them pictures of me sitting on the Russell seat, as well as the stock seat, to give them an idea of what I want the riding position to be vs what it is now. After looking at them, they concluded that they could bring it down and forward a little (~$150), but that would not get me to where I wanted. The guy it was designed for is 6-3, 265 lb; I am 5-10, 160 lb. It's a huge gap to bridge. To get the position I want, I would have to do a fresh build (~$650). I am not averse to working on my flexibility and strength to get to the point where the ~$150 solution works, but I have no guarantee that I will ever get there. So I am also considering the option of either selling it and buying a Corbin (which from the responses above should be much better suited to the riding position I'd like) or trading it for one.
