Subject: RE: Bikes DirectI bought my very first road bike from them. If I remember correctly, it came assembled except for putting the front wheel on and the pedals (it has been many years now ). The directions were sufficient that I was able to finish assembly, even though I didn’t know squat about bikes at the time.
Be cautious and read everything carefully!! I ended up with a bike with shifters on the down tube, sometimes called suicide shifters—for a reason!! It wasn’t clear in the photo and the info available on the website didn’t mention it at all. At the time, I didn’t have any idea what to look for.
Also—and I’m sure you’ll hear this from others. Be sure you are getting a bike that fits you. Nothing, not even said ice shifters, will make you more miserable and hate riding more than an ill fitting bike. |
