Saddle and legs

[Milkfloat]

I would suggest that at a minimum you switch to an inline seatpost with no layback, I would probably ignore the look and just spin your current seatpost to test it first.

As you can see on the pics [actually you don't..], but none of them are layback ones, thanks

Ahh that is clearer now - so what is stopping you sliding the saddle forward? A bit if brute force should allow at least a 10-15mmm.

That's the old painful saddle, plenty to play with.
Unfortunately, modern saddle do not offer so much breathing.

Can you do a similar photo with your current setup?

Since l have recently been described as "Satan" by a prominent member of this esteemed organisation , l thought l would add my "helpful" contribution, just in case you might find some of the information of use

Would more swept back bars help? (Going from the assumption that the saddle cannot be moved closer).

"Satan"

Well "Satan", according to the bike-geometry-charts, The Connoisseur has a 23,23" or 59-60cm frame height.

In the mean time, my new saddle and seat post have been stolen. So the "other new" saddle and black rusty seat post are now attached with a cable to the Ulock.

I have lowered the saddle by 1.5cm. And gain 5mm the saddle closer. Does it help? A tiny bit.
Will try how it goes and if not comfortable still, lower another 1cm.
Thanks
