I've got the Specialized Expedition Plus saddle on my Giant. Very comfortable as far as upright saddles go.

I've read some posts, on other forums, about some owners of the EZ Sport swapping their fork and 20" front tire out for a 26". They seem to be positive about it, but I've always wondered about turning radius.

Also, I've hit some big pieces of gravel with the front wheel of my Giant and felt the larger wheel wanted to jerk the handlebars out of my hands. I'm not sure that it would have that same effect on the LWB EZ Sport, because you don't have the weight of your arms and upper body bearing down on the front wheel, but I've noticed that the 20" just seems to plow some pretty big rocks right out of the way. Anybody else have a thought?

I had a thought once, but it got lonely and left...
