When I see curious tilt of a saddle, I see exploration to solve some other bike fit problem.
In days gone by, many saddles were too far back, today too far forward seems to be a "thing"
of note, I bought an American version of an Italian GC, near identical.
In by initial post purchase test ride, something was way off... turned out the saddle on the recent purchase was different, even slammed all the way back, it was 15mm too far forward.
Exchange that saddle for a Cinelli. All was redeemed.
There were other mechanical problems, shift cable housing for the Brakes! What were they thinking?
the Peeve, Splash tape. there must be a bike that it visually works on, I have not seen it yet.
