Yeah, I decided to buy the tools and assemble myself. The reason I was hesitant to go out and buy tools was because I have everything i need at school. I go to school in Illinois but live in NYC. And just was not sure if i wanted to have doubles of everything. But I ended up buying a spoke wrench, park allen key set, and another stand up pump.

Everything cost a little over $50. And tomorrow I will most likely pick up new clips, pedals, and helmet.

As of now, for about a little over an hour on the bike, I can say it is very responsive and rides comfortably for the time i was on it.

I will have more insight after tomorrow, planning on spending many hours on my bike touring Manhattan.

Somethings i can say now is that either get new clips for the pedals which may be difficult, or just get new clips/pedals all together. It is very difficult to get into the plastic clips due to its weight.

the plastic clips are not front heavy enough to cause the pedal to tilt down, making it difficult to get in. For now, i taped an AA battery to the front of my left clip which instantly solved the problem for now.

Furthermore, the straps are horrible.

As for the seat, for now its fine. But ill know for sure after a longer ride.

PS: Pics will be up after tomorrow.
