No, I haven't. I didn't even notice the tilt until you said it
I've only ridden it for about 20 minutes since I took it home and I'm not really sure how a road bike is supposed to feel. I've been riding a 5" trail bike for the last couple of years. I'll try some different saddle positions until I can get it fitted correctly.
This is my F2C. Ordered it back in December and took delivery in February. Was off the bike sick for 3 weeks and just as I started getting better I threw my back out for another 2 weeks. Off the bike a total of 5 weeks. I have about 3-4 shorter rides on the bike....about 30 miles each which I spent a lot of time trying to get the fit dialed in. I had to replace the bar and stem right away as they were the wrong size for me (If you want them, the bar and stem are on Ebay right now). Replaced with Ritchie WCS. Tires for racing will be yellow Pro Race 2's. Did the Icycle (metric) Century this past weekend (66miles), we averaged 19.2mpg. Bike felt great and I was more refreshed at the end than I have ever been in the past doing this ride (and this includes being off the bick for so much time). Over all a great bike and the more I get to ride the better I think it will get. I wish I could afford some Zipps as this bike would just fly with a set.
The Cannondale is the bike it replaced.

One is currently en route from CA. The other is in pieces in my living room. I'll try to get pictures sometime soon!
One is black- 05 F55. Ripped up and rebuilt a million times. Only frame is stock. DA/Velocity Fusion wheels, Ultegra shifters, FSA bar/stem/seatpost, ultegra crank. 58CM
Weighs about 16.5.
The second one is an 05 F65- again. Ripped up and rebuilt a million times- a little more stock than the F55... has stock bars/stem/wheels/crank. Shifters are tiagra. der is 105. FSA seatpost
Here's my '05 F-80. 58 cm, FSA Gossamer crank from an '05 F-70, black 105 rear der., 105 front der., Salsa stem and handlebar, MTB Speed V saddle, and Time ATAC mountain pedals (yeah, I know, but it's all I had. Can't afford road shoes/pedals yet). I know the stem looks pretty upright, but with resent back problems, this helped a lot. And the saddle is kinda pointed down a little bit, but tweaking it every ride.
