Does this saddle angle look extreme to you? It’s the only way to keep myself from sliding forward. It doesn’t feel like it’s crushing my soft bits.

Yes, there is something wrong with your bike fit if you keep sliding forward. The saddle in general should be level or nose down ussually. Th only time I’ve ever seen a leaned back saddle is extreme downhill riding.

perhaps look for a saddle with a flatter profile without that deep dip in the middle. That way you can sit your sitbones on the wings of the saddle without sliding forward when the saddle is level.

I say make it a comfortable bicycle for YOU. Whatever that means. Peace!

You are most likely compensating for something.

From top of my head:
1. Bike is too small, you are positioned too much forward (please note the 3rd point**)
2. The saddle doesn’t fit you as its rear end is tilted forward (check flat saddles),
3. Some other comment suggest your reach is too long, I would concur as you would naturally be pushed to sit on the front of the seat which is up in the air, I expect that you sit on very back end of the seat, which is actually more level from the pic perspective

Please sent us a vid or pic while you’re on the bike.

Little bit high

Ok here’s what you do, put on Dunston Checks In and while watching it, attach the top of the bookshelf to the rest of the shelf, then tip the seat down so it is flat. Then sit on bike (while continuing to watch Dunston Checks In) and pay attention to how much you lean forward when putting your hands on your handlebars. If you feel a lot of weight on your hands you are leaning on them too much. A key part of cycling is core strength, when we don’t have great core strength we put more weight on our hands and we shouldn’t. Then sit back and finish Dunston Checks In.
