Took the Revel to my Wonderful LBS. Guy is really nice. Better yet, he really knows what he is doing. He readjusted the saddle about an inch up and moved it back a few centimeters. Initital setup was deliberately low due so I could mount and dismount. I've changed so he now can put it closer to where it should be.

Result was an hour ride including a 20mph interval and climbing the face of a local dam. No pain. Other than the physical stress on my deconditioned body the whole evolution was smooth. I don't even think I'll have any DOMS.

So the answer is/was to move the saddle to put legs in a more proper place.
