Now the real deal -- the saddle post combo, is simply wrong. I know someone will surely say everyone has a different butt, etc., but Gum's Time VXRS had a pretty healthy flat saddle position so it's definitely not the butt. The saddle has a -25 degree downward slope, an amount 2-3 times more than what I would consider acceptable. Let alone the sharp tip that could be dangerous in a crash situation. The saddle is just a deal-breaker for me. I am sorry.
There is nothing embarrassing about admitting this was a screw-up job and going back for revisions. Birk is young, talented and smart, so I bet the second one should be just right.
As Berk said your missing the point of this saddle shape. Like a specialized Romin, if this saddle were level tip to tip it would be like sitting in hammock resulting in quite a bit of soft tissue pressure. The "relative" angle of this saddle and it being level in the center is not a mistake at all.

My Berk has a 0.5 degree drop at the front and it's perfect! It's about the fit and Jure will make you exactly what you ask for...
