No specific instructions to assemble the bike I bought. There was no kickstand.

Fun bike. Not to sure about touring or long ultra rides yet. As a daily commuter on multi-surfaced trails it is amazing. Stable, fast, no fuss

Love the bike, the weight, the looks, the low maintenance and simplicity! The only thing I did not like is the seat. I have been spoiled because I use my brooks saddle on every bike I have and all other seats do not feel as comfortable, I also don’t use padded shorts. The seat is such a small issue I don’t actually count it against the bike. Look for auto many years of riding.
