I had the same problem a few weeks back. DaveN and I were trying to diagnose the problem together - it helps to have one observer while one person tries adjusting the seat height. You know how at the front of the seat "runners" you mount the seat with a large Allen Head Cap Screw, and toward the back of those same "runners" there's an upside down slanted "T"(at the back end of the leaf spring)? Well, the problem I was having was, the forward end of the upside-down "T" was getting caught on the top edge of the front of the seat bracket (U-shaped loop protruding from the center hump). This interference was not letting the seat dip forward enough to where the seat would drop. After hours of blood, sweat and tears - Tears came after getting my thumb pinched between that T and the bracket, I still have a cool Black Thumb nail - we,
1) removed the seat,
2) took a four foot long crowbar and lodged it in the U shaped seat bracket and,
3) bent the front end of the bracket up slightly.
That did the trick. The front end of the upside down T easily slipped underneath the front bar of that seat bracket. I don't recommend cold-working this bracket, too much, as it would be a B!^@& if you were to break it off. Get a friend to check to make sure that's what's causing the problem before resorting to the crowbar.
