Nicely put.
Thank you! I had an old yet still nice Brooks B15 saddle on it, and my body's position was essentially fully erect. I was sitting on a saddle yet it felt like walking. Not hunched over on myself, knees not battling leg muscles and femur-to-torso angles. Saddle felt like I was sitting on a car seat or couch, to the point that I thought "I need a seatbelt." It was really cool. I need to build another.
