Bike Friday? Anyone?

[Kerry1976]

Attached is a photo of the basic assembly of the bike. Even though it was 100 degrees with indices in the 115 range, I had to at least ride it around the block! It was amazing but I definitely will have to get used to the Nexus 8-speed internal - it grip shifts just like my 7-speed Trek but in the OPPOSITE direction! A big difference indeed!

I took a break and then tackled the fenders. I don't yet have a picture with those on, but they are lovely!

I was a crescent wrench and brainpower short of getting the back rack on. Once I find a wrench I am going to work on that. The directions have me a little confused and I haven't yet figured out the back fender mounts and the rack mounts overlap or not, but I'll get it soon!

MTA: I need to add, I had to do a little more assembly than I expected and I am glad. I feel like it gave me a chance to better understand how this bike (and bikes in general) work. But in the grand scheme of things, the amount of assembly was pretty minimal considering the bike folds so the chain, etc. was already on and good to go.
