Interesting change in the seat tube/post from round to ovalized and the addition of the horizontal top with the adjustable QR on the mount for moving the saddle forward or aft. The only down side to this is there doesn't appear to be any means to tilt the saddle nose up or down to change the angle to suit the preference of the rider. Possibly I am wrong about this? It does look relatively easy to swap the saddle for a rider's preference, say a Brooks Professional or Swift.
As a backer, my understanding based on the information at hand is that the seat post is round.
And indeed, the seat can slide fore and after in order to achieve a compact fold when needed and yet allow to adapt the fore/after position of the saddle optimally to the rider.
The information provided to us backers is that there is a way to (slightly) alter the tilt of the saddle up or down by means of a dedicated screw.
And yes, the seatpost should accept any standard-railed saddle as long as it does not interfere with the fore/after mechanism and lever. I have no idea (yet) how restricting this might be wrt saddle choice..
