Su, just a warning: most things I order that require assembly come with like a cheapy version of whatever tools you'll need. Not this one. You'll need a philips head screwdriver a crescent wrench/pliers, and a full set of Allen wrenches. Also, just do you don't waste a bunch of time like I did: I must have spent like an hour trying to get the left peddle to screw in. Just was not happening. Right about when I'm at my limit, I throw the peddle down in frustration, and I notice that the little 'L' sticker has an arrow around it pointing counter clockwise. I thought, "no." But yes, you have to screw that one in opposite direction. Lol. So, just a heads up on that. Oh, also, I forgot to look when I took it for my first ride, it came on low gear. Other than that, fantastic little bike. Also I've gotten tons of compliments on how nice my bike looks. P.S. the quick release seat helps add to anti theft: not only put a cable through both tires and the frame, but flip the switch and take the bike seat with you as well.
