Thanks for the links on assembling the bikes. It mentions that I need to grease things like the seat and the peddles, but would the bike come with grease or would I need my own? I need to know what I need to assemble it in advance since I don't have any tools lying around, not even a screw driver. Easy things like a screw driver are doable, but I would have no idea what kind of grease to get or where to get it.
I went to my local bike shop today and rode Giant Cypress LX though which was very nice. Didn't care for the disc brakes too much as they were highly non-linear and touchy (and expensive). I noticed on Giant's site they make a heavier steel version named the Giant Cypress ST. Is that any good? I really liked the ride, seat and upright position of the Cypress. It's also possible for my local bike shop to order bikes from big names like Giant, Schwinn and Trek. Unfortunately they said they couldn't do anything like order a Kona Smoke.
