A friend of mine has had just this problem with both Swallow (modern version) and Swift saddles, using a frame with a 73 degree seat angle and a Campagnolo seatpin (one of the more modern aero profile ones; I believe the setback is much the same as the NR/SR pin). Almost had him converted; alas, he's back on one of the vestigial Flite saddles.
