    i was looking at my felt last night and wondering the same thing! If you can avail of the morphological exemtion you can have the nose of the saddle in line with the centre of the BB, or the extension with tips extended up to 80 cm from the centre of the BB. One or the other. I'm still not sure how the morphological exemption is granted though.

    Are you sure it's meant to be UCI legal? Some frames are built for Triathlon only. If it is UCI legal, is the seatpost reversible? A lot of TT frames have this to allow for TT and Triathlon positions.

    As far as I know, morphology exemptions allow you to either put the tip of the saddle in line with the bottom bracket or extend the bars out to 80cm, but not both. You don't seem to have to apply for this exemption.

    If you're taller than 190cm, you can put the bars out further.

    Lots of chat about this of late. The language in the regs. mentions both taller and smaller riders; my understanding is that in TTs, the saddle tip CAN be in line with the BB, provided that the forward distance remains 75cm, with the morphological exemption applying after that, to the 'morphologically special ones' among us. But I cud be wrong; and it does strike me that you mite take a sledgehammer to the Felt TT bike saddle and still not move it back any significant distance behind the BB, hence the OPs question is definitely worth asking
