I know the bike setup is perfect for you and I wouldn’t alter a proper fit for anything, but for photo purposes I probably would level the saddle and bring it down a cm
or two in order to even out the look of the extreme saddle to bar drop (or so it seems).
Either way, unbelievable bike, ride in good health and ride safely!
Thanks! First ride yesterday was great, and had some gusty winds to test them out, handled great with the 25mm tire up front. Thinking about trying some bar tape with a subtle fade or dots next, still keep a touch of white to tie it together.
I agree, aesthetically, I'd prefer a level saddle, but since I spend a lot of time in the drops, it's more comfortable for me with just a bit of tilt. Tough balancing form and function sometimes. lol
