I face the top tube problem myself. In my opinion the problem isn't so much that you can't hold the top tube (I can) but that you can't shoulder the bike. I have solved this by grabbing the chain stay on the other side of the bike.
I'm also puzzled by the "new saddle - bike doesn't fit anymore" rationale :)
