No I dont Kwacky
Bike was a present for my wife too. Only noticed when I had finished assembly it and was setting the seat height for her. You can't lower the seat fully as the seat tube is bent

Are you sure it’s not meant to be curved, Blade? Some mountain bikes have curved seat post tubes to allow for rear wheel movement on suspension bikes.

The seat can't be lowered more than a couple of inches. My lad has the same bike and same frame size and his goes all the way down so I think so buddy, yes.

You could just cut the seatpost....50-75mm is all you really need....certainly not less than 50 though.
