If you just put it together ("It don' look two hard 2 mee...") without knowing all there is to know about how and why - you will have a serious problem on your hands - and under your butt.
The bike comes 90% assembled. I did the rest with my bike tools. Purchased the bike in May 2009 and nothing has broke yet. And that's after a few crashes and once throwing the bike out of frustration. Silly me.
