Re: [MarcosManiacs] "A Small Matter"

2003-01-29 by Jack Myers

Hello svelt
I am a very tall 5' 6" chap,and with the pedals adjusted to their Max' forward position it was a little bit of a struggle. So I removed the peddles cut off the foot and welded in a three inch extension. This allows me to adjust the peddle forward as well as back to get the position just right for me. In my opinion a booster seat is not the answer because you also need your arms to be straight to drive a Marcos properly. (that should bring in some comments) See how you go regards Jac.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] "A Small Matter"

Dear Fellow Marcos Maniac Associates,

Please give me your opinion about something that I have heard once or
twice.

It has been said that some little folk might have a problem driving a
Marcos GT because of their height, or lack thereof.

What have any of you experienced or heard about this almost
unforgivable rumor?

It's all relative, I suspect, as to what "short" is or is not
considered to be.

Therefore, I am requesting a ruler or guage thing here from
contributors to this posting subject.

I'm a big bat but in human measurement standards I'm considered to be
somewhat diminitive, I suppose.

Any and all input would be appreciated. Perhaps one of you have a
Marcos Slide Rule for guaging the range of the foot controls!

Thank You in Advance, I am ...

Svelte
