The bike comes with NO installation instructions, completely disassembled.My dad and I spent over an hour trying to put the pieces together and came up with something that wasn't workable. I took it to a local bike shop so I could pay for assembly.GUEST WHAT! They had an identical bike for about the same price!
This is a nice, high quality bike - but DO NOT buy it online.It is not intended to be purchased by a consumer - but is sold by the manufacturer for bike shops! It requires special assembly tools and good technical knowledge of bicycles. There is no customer support from DiamondBack - it is not a consumer-direct business! You'll be stuck with a construction set and will be paying $30-$50 to a bike shop in the end.

I thought my little one could ride a 16, but after a few tries I realized the 16 was just a tad big.So I got this bike, easy to assemble.Now it works great, the only concern I have is that the seatpost angle could be a bit more canted, so the rider is less upright.That would adjust the seat to handlebar distance.
