Riding a hardtail with a 77 degree seat tube angle, this has reminded me that I need to angle the nose of my saddle up a bit. I always have it flat, but moving the saddle so far forward, and having the front of the bike dropping a bit when on it means that I am constantly sliding forward on the saddle. The trend for really steep angles and horizontal brake levers insinuates that bikes are only for riding up super-steep climbs, and then down cliffs.
