Ideally…
Allow yourself plenty of time to put your bike together carefully.
You should be confident that you have the skills required to safely prepare
the bike for use and are able to carefully check that everything functions
correctly and safely, before using the bike. It is not expensive to have your
bike assembled at a local bike shop where you should find experienced
and responsible bike mechanics. So if you have any doubts consider using
a professional.
At a bike shop your bike would be assembled using a purpose built stand,
at eye level. At home a bench or table with space all around is a good
place to build, especially if you have a friend that can help hold the bike.
Kneeling around a cluttered floor is not ideal!
Clear some space and make plenty of time to complete a careful assembly.
A cup of tea might also help…
