Don't take the BD bike to a shop to assemble it. It isn't rocket science... don't pay half the cost to get it put together. If you have troubles... find a friendly neighbor that you see buzzing past on a fancy bike to help.
If you want to pay $200 to get a $500 bike assembled.... why not just go to the shop and buy a $700 bike from your neighborhood bike shop.
