option a) fit a banana seat in place of the original stingray seat. it places your butt further back so you will have more space to stretch. check out my page on cncsufsside.blogspot.com, the ezyrider stingray at the bottom left.
option b) go to a metal shop (there's one at syed alwi, or if u got cash, try the rebound centre (O) 6743-9474 (M) 9639-8194, they do pretty good metalwork) and get them to lengthen the frame. check out my da beast stingray on the same page.
option c) get a new frame or bike, they are selling the longer stingray xl (about 24" in length) for about 400 bucks and some shops. if you have more to spend, you can try the trek shop in tanglin mall, they bought over pimpgarage stock, so they will be selling pg frames and bikes. be warned, a full pg bike there costs ard 2k.

well, i must say that you guys have a cool blog.
i just bought a schwinn stingray. i think its 20".
so being 182cm tall...i find that my ride is too small/short for me. i feel funny when i ride it.
what is your advise?

cool....
i appreciate the info alot.
thanks so much...great help there.
i will go thru those options given, then decide on which one is the best idea.
i hope i dont have to sell the bike. cuz ride now, i'm really disheartened as of the comfortability of the bike.
thanks man, will keep you update once in awhile.
cheers!
woaaa...great job on "da beast & night rod"..
where did you get the frame for "da beast"?
thinking of doing something like that...so i'd only spend some money on getting a new frame rather than a whole bike...
