Product Review: A little disappointed
The bike is aesthetically pleasing but suffers from a couple of issues.
1) The included instructions were photocopies causing the photographs to become almost worthless
2) The included instructions were poorly written with spelling and grammatical errors
3) And after that, the included instructions were pointless as they weren't for the Viking Vitesse anyway
4) On attaching the legs for the basket to the outside of the front forks, as per the photographs for this bike, caused the axle nuts to not fully screw on to the axle hub.
5) These nuts are also made of a soft metal so I wouldn't use the supplied multi spanner as that just "ate" into the metal.
6) The front brakes permanently touch the front wheel once the axel nuts are tightened up ( ... well as far as they can be tightened to ensure that they are safe and wont undo themselves) so the wheel is not fully free running.
None of the above has been mentioned to the wife as she loves the...
