Problem with Jeep Overland S Women's
Hello,
Someone purchased the above mentioned bike for me online, and it was sent over, in a few parts. I'm definately not technically minded, and so I thought it was a major acheivement to get the front wheel on. I now cannot attach the handlebars, or the seat. And the instructions are so vague, I have no idea what they are talking about. I tried calling Jeep's technical assistance, but the number doesn't work. Anyone with any ideas? |

Time to introduce yourself to your friendly, neighborhood bike shop.... If you're not technically minded ... and you are going to ride this thing ... why take chances when a few bucks will get the job done for you? -- Live simply so that others may simply live |

The easiest might be to take it to a bike shop and enquire as to how much they would charge you to build the bike for you. There's more to getting a bike safely and properly operational than installing the components. If you consider the price is right and the bike shop is capable, then with the knowledge that everything is correct and safe, it would be a bargain. |

If you're handy with tools but bike-illiterate, make a trip to the public library and pick up Zinn's book[1] or one like it; you should be able to figure out what you're up against from that. If you're not handy with tools, stop and think for a moment about who, among your circle of close personal friends, is likely to be handy with tools, and see if you can recruit them to assist. Putting that bike together isn't rocket science; in fact, it's not even up to the level of programmeing some VCRs. I strongly suspect that with a handful of tools and a decent book, you can probably get the bike together successfully.

Thank you so much!!! Would you believe it, I'm such a diz, the thought : never even crossed my mind. Thank you kindly. : : Didi Not only will your bike be put together so that it is safe for you to ride, you will be making a relationship with the people at the shop and they will help you out in the future. Most bike shop people are like that. Pat in TX : |
