Unless you are ready to do some custom work, short of some seat replacements as seen in the GS Wiki...your going to have to get handy/creative.

hey buddy, I'm a fellow Duval'er myself. Send me a PM if you need any advice. I can take this bike apart and put it back together in my sleep blindfolded and upside down.
Post lots of pics!
