Saddle should be tilted down in the front more. It should be aiming at the bottom bracket.

lol i find it funny people know enough about bikes to obtain a eddy merckx frame but are still ignorant of basic bike knowledge like keeping your saddle level.
from sheldon brown:
“The angle of the saddle should be pretty close to horizontal.”
“downward slope of the saddle causes the rider to tend to slide forward, and this can only be counteracted by pressure on the hands. Thus, poorly-angled saddles often are the cause of wrist, shoulder and neck problems, due to carrying too much of the rider’s weight on the hands.”
a great build marred by an ignorant saddle angle.

NG you kill me bro LOL
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the second pic was him showing us his totally deformed ass that only allowed him to ride with this saddle angle?
My arms would be killing me if I rode this bike I know that.

Very “trackish” for a conversion. Shinier stem would be nice. 8* bike overall (not looking at the saddle angle).

aimed at the bottom bracket? HUH?new one to me. Seems it would be unrideable,why even have a seat if you are constantly sliding off and all your weight is on your arms. Sheldon Brown’s advice is a good place to start,them angle up or down till most comfortable.Nose up slightly(slightly)works for me,puts mt butt “on the rivets” and weight off my arms.

You need big balls to ride 42/12. The “pursuit” saddle angle is to compensate for these large gonads. It is also called a gonadal tilt in some circles.
But seriously, nice bike. I’m just raggin on you because I am jealous.
