Laid-Back Seat Post

One thing I have found with setting the saddle back with Kip's seat posts
is that on my mile long grave road that twists and tutrns...I get a wonderful and "predictable" front wheel "drift" that is fun as heck...if I lean forward I regain immediate traction.

I actually like the sensation...at 20 mph that is, lol...

But it's a reminder that the rear wheel is taking a lot more weight...the further back the seat. I suppose far enough back and one could pop "wheelies, lol
 
Kip........are you there? Are you here? Where might you be?

I have a build here and something seems to be missing.........can you help me out?

Cool 'laid back' seat post Kip.

I just rolled this Dynamik into the service bay for a 48V electric 7-speed shifting assist this weekend so I snapped a pic.

How is that for a 'laid back' seat? hehehe ;-}
I guess this is what's called a semi-recumbent bicycle.

I'm all about the lazy boy on two wheels- do you know where I could find a seat like that?

What an awesome frame, sweetest I have ever seen I think. What is the brand name & year if you don't mind. The motor brackets are cool too.
 
Kip, if you're still producing your posts I sure do have an interest in obtaining one for a project I'm working on - I think your dimensions are just right. Let me know & we can close the deal with Paypal. There are other posts out there, but I think yours are about the cleanest I've seen.
