but so far--just from the assembly--I wouldn't be able to recommend it to anyone

I don't believe I've ever left a negative review for anything on amazon. In fact, I may have never left any kind of review at all. But the assembly of this bike has made me want to never purchase another bike again unless it's pre-assembled in the store. I've assembled several bikes, and none have been nearly this irritating. Nothing seems to fit. The instructions don't match the bike exactly (I'm guessing there are several models of this bike). I still haven't figured out how to get the front wheel to fit down into the sleeve securely. And don't get me started on the seat. I believe the way everything was folded up within the box make it incredibly hard to try to put together. This is a cute bike (I think), but so far--just from the assembly--I wouldn't be able to recommend it to anyone.
