Beautiful bike but assembly definitely required.
The bike is beautiful and seems to be well made. It is extremely heavy which is probably typical for beach bikes. My daughter wanted one for her birthday (we don’t live at the beach btw) so we ordered one. It’s not super flat around here and I’m glad I got the 7 speed or it would be unridable for her at the age of 12. Only other comment is I would have to argue that it is not 85% assembled. It took me almost 5 hours to get it together. I had the tools and know how and was able to figure it out and get the breaks aligned and adjusted along with the other bits and parts. You basically get the frame with a crank and chain and then need to assemble their rest. My daughter loves it and it looks great. I would give it a 5 if it was easier to assemble otherwise I have no real complaints.
