Meh. Aluminum Trek with mismatched wheels, 3×7 Tourney shifters, non-drive side photos... The seller is dreaming. I wouldn't pay $150 for it. Nothing to get excited about.

Carbon Fork, matching wheels. My son-in-law rides one and is very happy with it.

How you would rate the assembly process? I also heard that bikes that come in parts and require assembly has problems of its own such as bent pieces.
