Comments about DBR MO5 20 inch Hardtail Mens Bike:
.. Please note there were no supplied multi tools ..
Luckily I had some allen keys and a posi drive screw driver (phillips).
Front Wheel uses a quick release mechanism So was easy to attach.
Came with reflectors and a bell.
The bell in my case was naff once fitted if very very loose (Useless) would make a ring sound but if properly tightened made no sound.
All in all this is a good starter bike for me.
Extra's to consider (look around)
Allen keys
Posi Drive (Phillips)
Bell
Mudguards
Lights
Helmet
Puncture kit (just in case)
Lock Chain or D lock

Assembly
Our bikes are built by industry leading manufactures and then packed into sturdy cartons. The bikes are 85% assembled, which we've found is the best way to protect your bike during transport. You will need to part assemble the bike. Allow about 1 hour to fit the wheels, slot in the handlebars (the brakes and gear are fitted for you), and fit the saddle and pedals. Instructions and a tool are supplied.
