Sorry, no theological comments

Here's a Champion Flyer on my '88 Panasonic PT-3500:

It's still pretty new but already quite comfortable. It took a lot of work to get the adjustment right. I couldn't get it to tilt back far enough until I took a dremel grinder to the slot on the seat post adjuster.

And here's a Team Professional on my '72 Bottecchia Giro d'Italia:

I haven't gotten this one dialed in yet. It needs to tilt back a bit more but the seatpost won't hold the adjustment in that position, at least not as tight as I can get it with my pocket multi-tool.
