It's how I figured out how to maintain my bike. I never ride without my bike multi-tool on me- Allen wrenches, spoke tool, screwdriver, etc.<br><br>As for the seat angle, It's taken me a few rides to find the right angle. I want my butt to sit a bit back, over the springs, so when I hit bumps at 25mph my tailbone doesn't shatter. ;) Oh yes, I've been to Sheldon's site frequently.

Have you heard of Sheldon Brown? About your seat, it looks like it was angled up a little when you took it out of the garage. That would make your butt slide back too much. I keep my seat as level as possible, but seat angle is a personal preference. Also keep an allen wrench set with so you can make minor fit adjustments as you get used to your bicycle, plus most repairs require an allen set. I am also jealous of your crystalyte motor. Lucky.
