That is a fine looking bike. The somewhat dramatic uptilt on your Brooks saddle makes me wonder a bit. I acknowledge we each have to find a fit that fits. I used to ride my Brooks with a slightly less pronounced tilt, but in the past year have actually adjusted to close to level. That definitely puts more weight forward, suggests a slightly longer stem to match the weight-forward reach, but I am now the most comfortable I have ever been. Saddle no longer digs into my sit bones towards the nose of the saddle. Good riding to you.
