If the order concerns a bicycle, it is recommended to purchase the Pre-assembly service (ready-to-use bike) separately at a cost of €149 so as to have the bike completely assembled, adjusted and ready. Otherwise the bike will be shipped in the box as it arrives from our distributor, after general inspection.
It is also possible to make some changes to the bicycle components (upon purchase of the "Pre-assembly" service) specifying them in the notes during the purchase phase. For example, you can change: the size of the stem, the saddle, the tires, the teeth of the sprocket set and / or the crown, (obviously of the same level and value of the original components, otherwise there will be a surcharge on the total) or add the dropper post by purchasing it in the same order.
