Ha...I suspect that some of my own "up front" issues could be related to the shape of my back. I have great flexibility and can nearly touch the floor flat-palmed without bending my knees, but am VERY sway-backed (and have a super tilted uterus to boot. I also could never find a menstrual cup to fit, which I also believe is related to my "abnormal" physique). I have the kind of butt that Sir Mix-a-Lot coveted. I sometimes suspect that this angles my female bits in such a way that I have to go for a more upright posture on the bike, even though the rest of me is perfectly comfortable being relatively aero.
