That classic carbon Flite saddle looks quite odd on this modern frame and build or maybe it's just the anal intruder angle that makes it stick out.

Really? I feel like this frame is a bunch of “extremes” and the saddle fits right in
Edit: I wasn’t saying extremes in a bad way, it’s a loud bike.

maybe it's the photo angle but the seat angle is quite correct. also I find that old ass carbon saddle comfy af on even long rides. I got a bony, bony ass and my sit bones like that carbon

To each his own. If you're comfortable with that saddle nobody can tell you otherwise, aesthetics considerations are debatable. Saddle level is also personal and I am aware that 90's Flite saddles are best positioned when they have kind of an "hammock" profile, but all that said I'm still having a hard time believing it's just the photo angle that makes it so odd-looking..

That frame is sick. I've been looking for one but I can't find one in the US thats my size.

saw two in 61cm pop up on ebay in the US before I got this frame. complete (and shitty/overpriced, imo) builds only tho.
I begged on facebook in German and some dude had one chillin in a bike shop in Duesseldorf. #winning

I'm right up at that altitude as well. I've given up trying to find a sprint in 61, I've got plenty to keep me occupied.

That seat angle looks painful, sick bike tho
feels like op is letting the top tube mess up his perception. use the measure app on ur iphone to level it out. unless u like dat.
Yeah that sort of angle can cause health issues in the long term. Don’t want to damage your junk dude.
pro bike fitting. it's the photo angle. my bony ass seat bones are comfy as fuck 200Km in and that shit only working better the more my endurance increases...el oh el
it seems like this pro bike fitter hates you and does not want you to breed
Or you know … a level
iphone more accurate. gives you degree quantity.
and i feel like more ppl have an iphone (or any phone) than a level.
One time i had my angled top bar gravel bike on the back of a car. The angle it sat in the bike rack made my saddle angle look insanely aggressive and my teammate in the car with my was getting upset i had my saddle set like that… until he realized his top bar is flat and mine is not
gotta be the photo angle...looks bad but it ain't I promise! (I'm always making comments in my head about others' seat angles)
I stand by the looks, and sick bike part of my comment. Everyone is different. Allez Sprints are sick
