Don’t let the assembly requirement deter you from making this purchase. This is everything one needs in a basic recumbent bike at a very low price. For assembling, I strongly recommend that you carefully inventory all the parts, stock a number on them with a sticky note, and lay them out on the floor — you need at least sixty square feet to lay out the parts and to start assembling the base.
