Bacchetta CA2.0 Carbon Seat

Hello,

I just picked up a used CA 2.0. I realized after the fact, the seat is missing some hardware that will allow it to utilize the full travel of its position on the frame mount. In the full aft position the mounting plate on the frame is to wide for the molded design on the bottom of the seat. The previous owner had it secured in the full forward position on the frame mount where it did not interfere with the contouring on the bottom of the seat. I’m suspicious there is some form of adapter that mounts to the frame plate, or the seat itself, that will give the necessary space to bolt the seat without having to cut away at the bottom of the seat, and to allow full use of the mounting plate on the frame for seat position.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

I have a Bacchetta Corsa. I am attaching a picture of the seat bracket that came with the bent. It may help you.

 

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the picture. It is a bit different then this. There must be something that is fixed to the plate on the frame to take advantage of the seat mounts like me these. I’ve read some of the owners manual regarding mounting the seat. It appears it just bolts to the frame. Not sure how that’s possible without modifying the underside of the seat.

Thank you,

Chris

 

I did this today in an attempt to shim the seat up so it would fit on the bike mount. It looks like it’s going to work. Weather is interfering with my beta testing, but I’m confident it’s going to work.

Thanks for all the help...

I grabbed a cutting board from Walmart. I did a paper template then transferred it to the board. I then sanded in the contour of the seat. I may have over done the contour, but it fits perfect. Just haven’t had a chance to really ride it yet.

 

Too bad some cheap carbon-look vinyl coating probably won't stick.

 

It’s hardly noticeable, I thought about touching it with black paint. You have to be almost down at seat level to see it.
