(1) The seat and bottom bracket heights are a initially built. Due
to a problem with interference between the crank and front wheel the
seat and bottom bracket were moved forward 6". This raised the seat
and bottom bracket about an inch.
(2) When initially completed the seat was from two pieces of plywood
and foam. Later a fiberglass seat from Easy Racers was installed.
