Thank you, Frank.
Other way around. You move the saddle BACK for comfort. You move it FORWARDS for a time trial position. Ie, Speed.
You know that everyone is saying this and you asked for confirmation because you didn't believe it. It looks like your looking for conformation of your own bias though.
Do what you want as its your bike but you move the saddle BACK to move the centre of balance back which puts less weight on your arms and shoulders. DO berner's test for yourself and you will see what we mean. Its dead easy to stand in a crouched position if you can move your backside back far enough to balance yourself. If your standing against a wall and can't move your backside back when you crouch down then you just fall forwards.
