Picked this up silly cheap, its a Hawk Cycles folding bike made in West Germany (~70's?) It will be my rehab bike while recovering from a broken collarbone.
Full length guards, Hellenic art deco chain guard, spring clamp rack, heavy as shit and It's got a coaster brake.
I'm wondering if I can get a longer seatpost for this as it aint built for a 6 foot 2 person. No markings apart from a 'minimum insert depth' mark in german, looks to be around 29mm? I don't have those tron electric calipers, will get it measured by to bike shop. what's the likelihood of finding a 350mm+ long seatpost like that? Or I will just look like the tall simpsons guy in a small car which isn't terrible really.
