My experiment worked with sticking a modern huge cassette on the back+stiffer rear spring. Now I need to decide whether I get a normal dropper, normal post(longer), or a under the seat dropper.
Either way the 350mm post is too short and I didn't want to pull it out more since it only had 3in or so of insertion.
Found more homeless, and by the time I was halfway through the ride I was toast after climbing hills with a low seat. Had to walk a fair amount, but I had fun and didn't crash.
