This is the first bike I've ever had to assemble. It was extremely easy to put together. The directions were pretty clear (some got confusing with the different options available for the bike). However, I got it together in about half an hour and it works great. I didn't have any issues with getting the bolts tightened adequately for the handle bars and the seat that some of the other reviewers struggled with.

The colors in the product image don't do this bike justice. It is absolutely beautiful in person. I thought the blue may be a little feminine from the images, but it's a bit darker and more metallic and goes great with the black and red accents around the rest of the bike. I may just get my motorcycle painted to match!

The seat is nice and wide and very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable bike seat I've ever owned.

The gears shift easily, but maybe too easily. I find myself accidentally shifting frequently whilst adjusting my grip on the handle bars. I have very large hands, so that may not be an issue for everyone. The rear fender does not seem to want to stay straight. It's a little twisted and after several minutes of fiddling with it, I just left it as is. It doesn't interfere with anything and most people will probably never notice that anything seems off. It's just an annoyance when it's yours because you always know it's there.

Overall, aside from those fairly minor criticisms, it's a beautiful and comfortable bike that's very easy to assemble.
