@knowledgdropper: Yes I do ride with a slightly angled down saddle and the picture exaggerates it. My shoulders and neck are strong enough to handle it.

@nothingtoofancy: The highest end '09 CFR had a carbon steerer tube IIRC. Not so sure about the others. All '08s had alloy steerers. Also, even though there is no Scattante bashing in this thread, I do not recall triple bashing to be disallowed. BASH!
