A quarter turn of the nut will tighten it a bit. But otherwise it should be fine.

I would move the saddle back a bit as you look as if you sit way back on it.
Hmm well I have a Professional on another bike without the divots and it is more comfortable than the B17 now. I suppose I can tour on the Pro.

The saddle is all the way back on the rails since they narrow near the nose. Perhaps I can try a seat post with greater set back. Right now the solution is to tip is back a little more but that has the added effect of causing me to slide back onto the rail.

I'm riding a century on it Saturday and can re[ass]es its feel after the quarter turn.

Thanks others on the input but for now I'm not going to attempt a risky reshape.
