this is why you don’t build a bike under tension.

It was built to plane is what you’re saying?

Can you get a longer chair pole?
Will start looking
I have long legs so I have it out a lot already
Also maybe 180mm cranks to drop the pole a bit?

What size is it now?
It’s at the shop but I think 170
Edit. Maybe u meant pole
No idea
Someone measure please
I wonder if there’s a Brompton or similar folding bike with the same diameter pole. Trim to fit reverse seat mast.
it’s a normal 31.6
get a long-stroke dropper post and solve two problems at once
it’s even already drilled for internal downtube routing with an exit under the bb shell, just have to drill and fish it into the seat tube from there
Fred’s idea is the correct one but I remember adapting one of those old seat clamps to a length of pipe which was shoved into the seat tube of a kids bike in the zoo bomb era.

This works but the clamp area is 7/8" or so IIRC so you need a pipe that tapers at the end.
I had a kids bike (zoobomb era but I used it in Seattle for Rollo) that took a 25.4 post, so I just cut off a steel mtb flat bar and had a sweet long chairpole!
In not opposed to it but Is there a long stroke dropper that would be appropriate for a $200 35# bike
