Hey guys. Trying to pick between the Lucky Dave's seat and the widowmaker. I've seen a bunch of posts about tall guys asking, but what about the short guys out there? I'm 5'7"; 30" inseem.
Lucky daves pushes you forward a bit, Widowmaker does the opposite I believe. If you call Big Mike from BMC he will make it up custom for you, gartec81 had his made with an extra high tail section and further back so I'm sure he could make one that scoots you forward. Other companies like C&C seats and Saddlemen can do the same for you. Corbin has apparently had a downturn in customer service recently, I'd avoid them directly if you go that route and go through BMC
I've got the same dimensions. I'm very satisfied with my Lucky Dave's. Although my wife is not satisfied with the passenger portion (at least for longer rides).

I had the same problem. I went with the Biltwell Continental. It’s a lot cheaper than the two you mentioned and it worked great. Lowered me down quite a bit
