First of all there was no saddle, remember? This was on a chair. Second, so what? I keep asking, so what. Managing weight on the bars depends much more on where the saddle and bars are with respect to each other than it does on where the saddle is with respect to the BB. There are too many more important factors in saddle placement than balance. When you get those right, then you can set the bars. Balance is just not the main issue.
