Looks pretty clean, I'll assume it looks as good in person as in the picture. I'll say $3,600. That's figuring that someone still needs to put a little work into it, but would then have a very nice...

My Corbin seat is pretty tall on the Wee. Part of that is that it's wider, but I think it's just plain taller, too. Comfortable, though.
