http://www.bikesdirect.com/frequent.htmQ: Is much assembly required?
A: All bikes come direct to you in the factory box, about 90% assembled. If you are familiar with bicycle assembly, it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. CLICK HERE to see sample assembly instructions and a video. If you feel unsure about putting it together, please you take it to your local bike shop for final assembly, tuning and safety checks. All parts of the bicycle require proper tuning and tightening of all parts prior to every ride and inclusive of parts that arrive pre-installed.
