I don't know if it's my tush, or the saddle that's breaking in, but the Brooks Champion Flyer gets more comfortable everyday (if marginally). Got just over 60 miles on it so far. I'm happy with the setback seatpost as well.
The suspension seatpost and that ultra cushy stock saddle were not my cup of tea. I feel so much stronger on the bike now for some reason with the fixed seatpost and harder saddle. I'm giving the Brooks time to break in, but so far it's working out pretty well. Hoping my butt wills stop being sore here in another week or two.
The dirtdrop stem was able to raise the bars to level with the seat. The grips at the end of the bars may be slightly higher than the seat, but we're talking only a cm or two. The new stem also pulled the bars back a little, pushing me a bit more upright. Only had a few miles on with the new stem setup, but it feels great!
Pics to come soon as I locate digital camera from recent vacation non-unpacking.
