I just purchased a CT in new original condition. I've been after a Bike E for years, couldn't believe this bike was $100. Papers and everything. Owners manual says 1998 on it. Must be a 98 then? I expected to get a beat up rehab needing bike, but no, brand new!

My question is on the seat angle. Flat or tilted back?

Congratulations on your new ride! Seat angle is such a personal thing. My wife likes hers upright but I like mine all the way tilted back. It would seem most people start out upright then after 500 to 1000 miles the seat gets moved to the more laid back position.

The more laid back the better in head winds and the lower CG (center of gravity) which is also better in crosswinds.

Ciao,
