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

It is about the tilt.

I am finally happy with the Fizik Arione about some breaking in time.

It was tough when I got it and have it level on the top. But after tilting the nose down, essentially making the bottom (or the rails) level, the saddle fits really well and comfortable.

YMMV.

i cannot understand how a male rider can have the saddle tilt up even by a bit. i tried it and i nearly lost a testicle within half an hour of riding.

Funny you should mention that drink. Here's a video from when my friend first tried it. The reaction is no joke. (turn down your volume)
