@Hindsberg, ride with your saddle angled like that for more than 10 minutes and see what I’m talking about. I thought it was common knowledge that a level saddle is best for cycling form. Even being tilted forward 2 or 3 degrees is enough to put excess stress on your wrists and behind.
Saddle angle is a personal preferance type thing.what works on one bike may not work on another. I just put a FA(fat ass )comfort saddle on my Axis ‘cross racer as no more racing. The position I finally settled on amazes even me but the boys are happy.
I have allways kept the seat rails parallel to the ground or ever so slight nose up. Ususally nose down puts pressure on the hands and wrist. My balls are titanium so it’s not an issue.
That’s a cool new school setup. My one pet peeve is the fork; looks like the paint was stripped. The saddle angle doesn’t bother me because it’s personal preference.
I like its BMX roots. Not loving the orange spokes. ng, what they were thinking was this: “how’s that? yeah, that looks good with all that shit behind it.”

Brace yourself, this is the calm before the storm. Please level that saddle. Your family jewels will thank you.

Akward.. But I like it.!
I love how you guys can elaborate on saddle angles and balls. Blendo, How long did it take to get your balls perfectly perched?

great colors, but bike looks confused, overall. Maybe the risers are just too high, but this bike looks too much like a BMX

@K-dregg, Its taken me many years and millions of dollars in funding for research and development to find a way to keep my ballsack comfortable.

Here’s an example –
chopprov1: “Hey Scrojira, what you think of my sick new fixie whip?”
me: “Oof.”

“Oof” is the sound when you kick a zilla in it’s little special place.
