If you are, head back to the store to get the missing parts. 2. Grab a plastic containerGrab one of those plastic containers that you find in your kitchen and drop all the loose parts into it. They'll be easier to keep track of and there will be less chance of loosing these tiny little bits. 3. Read the directionsRather than going by the old rule "if all else fails read directions" be smart and take a few minutes to read the directions before you start attempting to assemble the bike. If you read the instructions you'll have a plan in your mind before you start, which will make assembly go much smoother. 4.

Align the handlbars The cable will be attached the handlebars, so just drop the handlebars into the tube, align straight, then tighten with the included allan key. 6.
