    howdy,

    i have bought a felt 620 mountain bike (front suspension disk brakes etc) from england and it has arrived in a lovely flat back. i am now attempting to put it together. instructions would have been a great help. i am fairly good with tools. the questiojnsi'm asking is would an average person be able to asssemble or should i bite the bullet and pay 35 euro to have it assembled at the bike shop?
    thanks for any help you can give me

    i won't be able to respond to replies for a day or to
    :confused:

    If this is your first time doing anything mechanical with a bike, I would take it to the bike shop.

    If you find yourself having to install the bottom bracket, cranks and headset pony up the cash and get the job done professionally. These need to be installed correctly to avoid damaging them or the frame of the bike iteslf and require some specific tools for the job.

    I'm guessing that as it's a Felt you probably got it from Wiggle in which case it's likely to be pretty much assembled apart from fitting in the seatpost/saddle, the front wheel and attaching the handlebars. If that's the case the only thing to be a bit careful of is how much you tighten the allen bolts on the handlebar stem as it's easy to tighten them too much and strip the threads. Should all be straightforward enough. Good luck!
