Ouch! Yeah -- I adjusted the angle down after the first ride. I took off my Brooks B17 and put on the original Titec and that's how the angle came out. After a couple of rides I think I might go back to the Brooks. I thought the plastic saddle might weather better but the Brooks is sooooo comfy...

Another annoyance I'm having is getting the angle of the saddle just right. The Bontrager seat post has detents so I'm usually a tad high or low of perfect. My Thomson seatpost is nice but the wrong size .
