So I leveled the saddle for my 8.5mi commute in this morning. Much better and I started to like it perhaps more than my old broken in B17. However I found myself sitting even more so on the rear bar - the leg cut-aways are even deeper on the Team Pro (relatively longer nose) and allow oneself to push further back on saddle with butt nearly over end of saddle. That I don't like as much.

Most of the Pros I've seen are set dead level or even a bit down in front. A whole different animal than the 17 series.
