Our Remarks
In this Raleigh Back Alley City Bike review we have mentioned that the parts of the bicycle are not assembled. The parts come separately, and you have to assemble your responsibility.
These bikes are shipped to customers around 85% of assembled. So, the customers do not require much installation or adjusting of different parts. However, if the end users do not feel comfortable with the remaining installation process, they can take help of a bike shop.It is not very expensive to install the bikes through a bike shop rather it will be very costly if you break some parts when installing its own.
If you are highly concerned about the sturdy construction and speed of the bicycle, then the single gear bike will be favorable regarding both price and functionality. Hope that you may enjoy the ridings with this bicycle.
Good Luck!!!!
