You might be surprised to learn that bicycles are not completely assembled at the factory. It’s true. They’re actually delivered to us disassembled and in a box, and we spend about an hour just assembling, setting up and testing every bike (at no additional charge to you).
Right size
Once you’ve decided on a bike , after careful consultation with an experienced salesman , it is vital to purchase the right size bike for you. The bike must be set up and adjustments made to ensure the frame is the correct size . Ome must ensure that the seat and handlebars brake levers and shifters are properly positioned. This ensures comfort and safety. There are many choices, too: If you want a softer saddle, we’ll fit one for you. If you prefer to sit more upright, we can find a solution for you. We want your new bike to be as comfortable to ride and as easy to pedal as possible.
