I have to agree it looks quite bad... but a bit in a good way though...
In this case, it's just a frankenbike thing: this is a MTB frame fitted with 700c wheels, and the seat tube (this has nothing to do with the fact bigger wheels are fitted though...) is really laid back, so if I don't have the saddle to the front it's like riding one of these beach cruisers with your feet ahead of your knees, which is bad the the knees in my experience... Now, I was a bit optimistic, and set the saddle a bit further back today...
Gaston seat posts, in some cases I like them, but most of the time I don't get the justification behind it...
