Thanks, flan. This is certainly the nicest bike I've ever owned, but some of the gorgeous, higher-end bikes I've seen in this thread are truly drool-worthy!

Anyway yeah, I was definitely aware that the saddle was tilted forward a fair bit - I adjusted it that way on purpose. What I didn't realize until I saw the pictures was how sharp the tilt actually is.

The thing is, I arrived at that angle after several adjustments and several long rides. Primarily, I was trying to to get it to a point where the saddle was no longer causing taint-area discomfort. The angle you see is just where it ended up. When I'm riding, I'm situated pretty far back on the seat, and I generally find this somewhat unusual positioning to be comfortable.

Nonetheless, now that I've seen how tilted the saddle actually is in the pictures, I intend to try angling the seat back some. I'll just go with small increments over the course of a few rides and see how it goes.
