Some assembly required

Bored out of my head last weekend. In this neck of the woods it was icy, cold as heck. Holed up with a bit of cabin fever.

Got to looking on bike sites, wishing I was actually riding. Found a neat looking ride on bikes direct.

And took the plunge. A Bike Inna Box arrived at the door within a few days.

Slapped it together. Took longer to unwrap the darn thing than it took to assemble. A tweak to the brakes, and the barrel adjuster on the rear derailler, and she was ready to ride! Great feeling!

It's advertised as a comfy commuter. It indeed is. Ships with skinny azzed tires. 700x 28's is the advertised limit, that might be one thing I'd change. Indexed rear derailler.

I plan on using this as the regular commuter. Have a set of thorn resistant tires knocking around here somewhere that will make the trip a bit more stress free.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Good day, and happy riding everyone!
