Hey Bob, glad you got that saddle up. My saddle is good, height wise, but dirt drop bars are meant to be predominately ridden in the drops, and as such, I like the drop portion just a little below the saddle height. The tops are really high, for sure, but that's fine for casual chats and down tempo rides. When the mud gets to flinging, or the trail points up, I duck down into the drops again.
