Kidding aside, seat angle depends on anatomy and rider position... for most men in most situations a slight downward angle is the most comfortable. Having said that i'm talking 5-7 degrees max up or down.
I disagree! I find that a seat tipped down is usually a sign that the seat is raised too high.
Looking at a racer's bike can be instructive, because they do a lot of fine tweaking. Most of them have their seats level or tipped slightly up.
And I find that Brooks feel better when tipped up, especially if I'm slightly upright, such as with upright handlebars.
