My Motobecane Ti Heat Review:
When I got the box it was in good condition from ups.
Everything seemed packed well enough so that damage would not happen in transit. Bike comes with the front wheel off, shifters off, handlebar off, and front brakes disconnected....
Now you got a separate box with all this other stuff, which includes shimano pedals, pedal adapters, and a bunch of manuals.
Sram Rival Cranks do look impressive, they have a gunmetal appearance to them:
Since my wheels didn't need truing, the only real tricky part was adjusting the Rear Derailleur. I was able to get it so that it is really smooth. Here is a good video that really helped me to adjust the RD and get it smooth. I'd say with youtube as a reference anybody can assemble a bike. You will need to get a chain removal tool to use this method. I bought a set of tools at performance on sale for $40, which includes the chain removal tool, and other stuff:
