With proper care and maintenance your bicycle will give you years of riding pleasure.

Use this owner’s manual as a guide for the recommended maintenance and safe usage of your new bicycle. Take the time to read and understand this manual; and for parents of young riders please explain the content to your child. Please note that it is not intended as a full workshop manual.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the content in this manual is accurate and current as at May 2007.

Please consult a specialist bicycle dealer if:

-a specific subject is not covered in this manual

-the subject matter seems beyond your level of experience or ability

General Warning:

It is your responsibility to correctly maintain your bicycle. Failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle may have severe consequences, such as losing control when riding and falling, which may ultimately result in injury or death.

The risk of injury or death due to falling is implicit in the many “warnings” and “cautions” stated in this manual. As such, whenever the risk of falling is stated we do not repeat the warning of possible death or injury.

Please Note:

This is a partially assembled bicycle requiring final assembly and adjustments before riding. Final assembly and adjustment should only be carried out by a qualified bicycle mechanic at your specialist bicycle store.

CONGRATULATIONS
