I know I'm late to the part, but reading some backlog on G1 since I now own one... I read somewhere once that Chris runs his saddle like that because of a hip issue/injury. The STA is definitely not too slack. It was steep enough on the original Geometron, and steeper still on the G1. I run my saddle in the middle of the rails, just a few degrees downtilted from flat. Works great.
