totally OT: but is that how you ride that saddle? I just got the same one and was reading a lot of advice like -"point the nose up further than you think, then up some more" but i had issues with it, and it was way less than yours. now I'm closer to flat and battling the slide forward.... Great looking xtra-cycle! I would think the attention the bike attracts will help your candidate! I just went Burly Flat Bed Trailer because my hauling is mostly just one day a week... but i will do the xtra-cycle next...
