I know how painful it is to wait for delivery of a new bike! I would have been frustrated, too. I ordered two BF NWT's on 8/3 with a promise date of 9/14. Both bikes were shipped on 9/12 and arrived on Friday, 9/15 at 6:30pm. I was on pins and needles all day since UPS never showed it "out for delivery". I was so affraid that it wouldn't show up, but it did.

I, too, had previewed the video several times before the bike's arrived and thought it looked pretty easy. Opening the cases for the first time, staring at this folded bike, I became intimidated. Took pictures, as Emily suggested, and started unpacking. It took me a good hour to put the first one together; the second one only about 30 mins. After riding them around the neighborhood a few times, packed them back up for a road trip. Packing the first one took forever; packing the second one was much easier. Unpacking at our destination only took about 15 mins. per bike. Quick folded the bikes for a short car ride and found this to be really easy. Don't worry, take your time and follow all steps in the video and you will "get it" really fast.

Friday was our first big ride on the bikes. The bikes are set up with H-Bars, bar con shifters on mine and trigger shifters on DH, triple up front and 11-32 on back. We also have the adjustable stem for a little more flexibility in riding position. I found the bike to be very comfortable; no neck or shoulder issues and no numb hands. I'm not too sure about the gearing as I found myself (52-42-30 chainrings with the 11-32 cassette) spinning way too much and didn't feel like I could find that "just right" gear. We will be doing another long ride in a couple of days and I'll continue to play around with it. I really like the bar con shifters and wish I had set up DHs bike with them.

I really don't know what a perfectly fit bike feels like, but I will say that I felt very comfortable on my BF and it handles really well. At this time, I am really satisfied with our BF purchase.

Will be interested in your thoughts on the bike!

Take care and enjoy,

Vickie
