I'd rather compromise my nuts than resorting to the visually uninspiring sloping toptube!

OT: I seem to remember reading about the relationship between fore and aft saddle position and pedal stroke efficiency. When I started wrenching 30 years ago, my bike mechanic book said something like this for ideal saddle adjustment: Hang a plumb-bob over the tip of the saddle and it should hover 2-3 cm aft of crank center. Or maybe it was in front... Any pointers?
