In my opinion the owner is in the process of understanding himself to the bike given that he's just started road biking not too long ago. It's a learning curve that we have to go through. I believe he will make great progress given his logical thinking with years of mtb experience just hope that he will enjoy this form of cycling as much ! Nice video. P/S : As with the explosion in cycling within this 3 years more and more parallel importers sprung up ( not only for road bikes but other kinds of bikes). It's amazing in a way that some of them could get the stock even faster than the authorised dealers making me thinking do bike manufacturers value their loyal authorised direct dealers ???
Saddle tilt is normally an indicator of a bad fit. I would recommend always starting at 0 degress and go slightly from there up or down. Honestly having that kind of tilt is like skateboarding down a hill, it's only going to cause more weight to be shifted forwarded onto your arms and hands. A lot of people will blame the saddle or even the bike.... Watching him on the bike his back angle seems too squished IMP.
It is the reach what caused the saddle tilt because his saddle is way too forward. When you sit on a saddle which is right above your bb, your body kinda like a tilt saddle to put your legs back from the bb a little bit.
That's what my thinking is! I had my saddle like that before my friend told me to lower my seatpost. He tilted the saddle because it's too high amd that's why it's hitting his soft spots when it's flat
hi you been 5mths on roadbike is normal to have numb fingers n body ache as your body is adapting to aerodynamic position..imo dont waste money on bike fitting you can DIY give sometime to ur body to adjust try to listen to ur body and do some minor adjustment ride as often as you can to understand the bike more.. maybe for a start you can check it out a TH-camr Cruz Control you be amazed how easy it is to self bikefit youself ..i started just like anyone else numb fingers n backache but after watching his channel on bikefitting and im a believer!!.🤟
You may want to do a bike fit man, your bike doesn’t look right. The saddle is way too forward, it’s actually against uci rule of the relative position between the nose of the saddle and the bb. I would suggest you to get a shorter stem and put your saddle back a bit, which may also correct the saddle tilt.

Waiting the new Merida 2022 scultura team interview .
I like the way this guy communicates, the tone and speed of words are easy to ears
He will definite benefit from a bike fit.
Nice I have same bike! Looks like the saddle angle is around the same as mine? 6-7 degrees downwards.
We have a very similar setup! The black looks suuuuper sleek
Done your major upgrade ? HAHA when hook up
Oompa for interview ?
@@AliveBread 😂😂left one major part then it’s ready for oompa 😝
Whooaaa….
Another guy who does both road and mtb
I think glossy black is pretty flashy. like bora or enve wheels
instead of having a long saddle and tilt it down, how about trying out a short saddle like the Prologo Scratch or Dimension
try lowering your saddle height slowly by 5mm and set the saddle flat and see when you'll feel ok with it.

10:11 my face when im at tmcr
That saddle tilt is not even call *slightly*. This definitely cause a more frontal pressure
Should get a power mirror saddle 😁
😂
