Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hah! Didn't even see that. It's like that picture of the "dog driving a car" that you don't see because of the female in the middle of the photo wearing white... If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about.

Hot! Maybe you could cut the steerer tube and then it'll look even hotter.

Does this new saddle help my bike's 'HrN' factor? or is the busyness of the wheels still a limiting factor?

Would you consider rotating the handlebar forward a bit? The drops are close to parallel with the top tube, and having them perfectly parallel would make it look much better without compromising comfort.
