It's got the 'nose' level, so the back is at a slight angle. Bodyglide and chamois butter (even just wearing a chamois) helps a LOT, but for the next month I'm only doing a 2 mi commute, so it feels like more work than it's worth. ...then again, if it's going to keep being in the 70s both ways, maybe I'll just wear the shorts!
I wonder a little if my handlebars are a bit low, causing me to lean forward/down more? I try to ride pelvis-neutral as much as I can, using my core to roll it back a bit. Gotta warm up slow; I tell ya, these new road positions are really, really noticeable on the outsides of my thighs/butt! woah! Think nosing the seat down slightly would make a positive difference?
