Is the saddle to bar distance the same as on your track bikes? Also is it the same saddle as on the other bikes? Do you feel like there's a bunch of weight on your hands?

Haven't meaured the saddle to bar distances yet, I'll have to get back to you on that. The brifters were leveled by a friend who was very particular about where was "appropriate" for them to be positioned, which obviously isn't as important as functionality. They're all different saddles, but generally similar design with variant amounts of cushion, this one happens to be the most cushioned. I do feel like there is quite a bit of weight on my hands when I'm riding, I frequently change hand positioning due to fatigue, though that may be my own hands, carpel tunnel, etc.
