I stopped dropping my saddle so low after watching the World Cup riders keep
theirs at a reasonable height. I still don't ride like them but it's nice to
be able to pedal a little and rest as well as to have the saddle there for a
reference. I imagine that less overlap could lead to more maintenance issues -
and more drop equals more weight. 125 suits me just fine.
