5'6" 28" inseam.. Redwing boots, Corbin Custom seat - Flanders pull back - no problem - ride 2 up 98% of the time... Just have to be real carful in parking lots and when the bike is moving slow... because of our short legs - we can't allow any lean angle when stopped - well, we can but we will be picking our bike up... ask me how I learned this early on...lol

+1. Try a Badlander seat. Inexpensive but fairly comfy and nice looking. That seat alone is good for more than an inch plus it moves you back towards the narrowest part of the frame.
