In general terms, I have put together three of them and I think you would probably have no problem with any decent quality 26" mountain bike that is less than say 12-15 years old. The free radical should have everything you need, and the instructions that come with it are pretty good. So far the only thing I have ever needed that was not included was just a couple washers.

That said, the Radish is a pretty good deal. The free radical kit with the bags and stuff is about $500, the complete Radish is around $950. My wife has one, and its a decent bike. Not fancy but solid, and though it is quite a bit of money, when you subtract the cost of the free radical, bags, etc and the time involved on putting that stuff on another bike, the difference isn't too bad.
The Radish would be a good fit. Unfortunately they are sold out till Feb 2011.
