People ask about upgrades to their bicycle, and while I help them do it, many times I think it's a downgrade to the clean aesthetic of the original bicycle. This, though, is a beautiful way to modernize the front end though!

Thinking of that Amazon bike? This is the Sami Race "Sport" model.

On top of all the usual assembly steps, there's a few extra that would bedevil any normal customer attempting to assembly the bike.

1) the factory cut housing was too short, so remove and recut front housing. You'd have to know and see that the cable end caps which are supposed to contact the cable stops weren't and that ruins shifting on the front shifter.
2) discover that rear shifting didn't work!
issue a) new-in-box the rear derailleur mount was non-aligned. You'll need a frame tool like the D-A-G to fix that up.
issue b) Tourney TZ is so low quality that assemblers have to toss out a significant percentage and start over with a new derailleur.
3) chain is too long! had to remove a link as when in the smallest cog and chainring the chain was floppy-floppy. Over-long chains result in dropped chains and terrible shifting.
