I was going to post a picture of the bike/stem/saddle but my camera's batteries were dead last night. They're in the charger. Since the saddle is fairly new and still hard as a rock I'm sceptical that it should be tightened though.
Komissar, this isnt' correct. The Tech Deluxe is about 5 cm SHORTER than the Technomic. Some say it has a better finish, but in my hands that doesn't matter after the first 5 minutes or so.
I ride 52 and 53 cm frames. I cannot get a Technomic to insert low enought to avoid the "giraffe effect."
