With a bike like that you should at least learn how to take decent pictures. Start by turning it around...

Did the longer stem change make you put your saddle at the end of the rails like that?

Indeed, I get a free pro fitting from my LBS, but I haven't the time to get it done.

Nice bike, dude. You know what I love about the new Orca's? The headtube cable routing. One of the best cable routing ideas I've seen.

The good: nice job tucking away those valves; the softish editing.
The bad: the bigger chainring, the BIGGER!! same for the cog. except it's the opposite.

No the saddle comfortable, I have had the same one on my Project one for over a year. I like it in the drops or the hoods. Doesn't seem to apply pressure no numbness, longest ride with it 90 or so miles. I do a 50 to 60 miler a couple of times a week.
