Just such a poor job by the manufacturer. But, YOU CAN DO THIS. Don't be intimidated.The owner's manual is worthless, don't even bother.You can YouTube some videos, but they are only really suggestions, since there isn't a video that shows this exact bike being assembled, just something similar. I would say watch them, for some reference, but don't rely on them.The best thing you can do is look at the picture of it assembled.You will need an allen wrench set, and a metric socket set, or an adjustable wrench.When you unpack it, the handle bars, while attached, are not in the correct position you will need, so just understand that, and adjust it.Same with the seat and seat post. Just loosen then, adjust them, and re-tighten them. Everything else is pretty easy, IF you have all the parts. I did not. I was shorted an acorn axle nut, and really couldn't put the front tire on without it. Asked a question to see what size I should get, it never got answered, and the guy at Lowe's tried to sell me a standard size nut, so I just left. Everything on this bike is definitely metric. I guessed the axle nut to be 10m (or 10 mm), but I guessed fine thread and that didn't fit, so I guess it's just a regular thread on a 10m. I don't know, I ended up cannibalizing an old BMX bike my kid had in the garage, seems that axle nuts are pretty universal.But, just look at the pictures, take pictures of what you have, before you adjust, so you can go back to how it was, if you are visual person. You can do it.

Excelente compra, me encanto la bicicleta, me llego bien empacada y el armado es relativamente fácil si se tiene la herramientas para el ensamble, ya una vez armada es excelente para rutas en la ciudad, llego en tiempo menor de lo que esperaba, si tuviera la oportunidad la volvería a comprar.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Suburban Blues"
Reviewed in Canada on August 9, 2022
Hello, well the bike came all beat up in the cardboard box probably due to the dolts who did the shipping, handling and delivery. The front wheel was devoid of the right nut that held it onto the bike which was super difficult to find in local bike shops due to the threading, etc. The rear fender was dented and the front wheel was not balanced and wobbled slightly. I put it together alone and the assembly took a couple of hours in an exercise in futility hunting down missing parts. My son seemed pleased with my operation as the bike functioned well and is super heavy. It is really at home in the suburbs as its namesake implies, "The Suburban." The manufacturer should give me a rebate of some sort or replace the bike entirely.

P.S.- I was impressed with the follow up by Amazon and the Schwinn company with respect to my 'Suburban Blues' complaints. Amazon reimbursed me $100 for damages and the Schwinn people gifted me a new wheel, wheel nuts and hopefully the rear fender will arrive soon. The blues have gone away for another day!

Respectfully yours; Jack
