Basically all you need to do is mount the stem, front wheel, install front brakes, pedals, insert seat post (seat already installed on seat post) and the brake wire clamps on to the top tube. That's it. Please learn from my mistake and don't mess with the rear wheel locking nut or cones. I got into a bolt tightening frenzy and for some stupid reason I messed with the rear wheel locking nuts and after buying a new tool and hours of adjusting and a trip to my LBS, I finally got it right (so I think).

Just assembled this yesterday, heres mine:

Only thing I really changed were pedals (cheap Wellgo Platforms I had from another bike), Truvative Stylo Team bars and Truvative Stylo Race stem I picked up brand new on craigslist for super cheap, a nice aluminum 27.2mm stem I purchased for a beater bike that I recently sold, and a nice cannondale seat from my road bike that I removed for an upgrade.
