Thanks, I really like the bike, it's a tank that I basically built so I could point it anywhere and not break it. I'm definitely not looking to make riding easier on me, it's all about fitness and enjoying the ride for me on this one. Eventually when it doesn't take me 90mins to stop sweating, I may use it on the commute too.

I'll tip that saddle back a bit and see if that helps out with the slipping, that would be a good start. The reach isn't bothering my back or neck, it's just my tail that's taking the beating.
