Temple Cycles is a bicycle brand born in Bristol, England, looking for the perfect bicycle, combining the aesthetics and strength of classic bicycles with the advances in materials, manufacturing and technology that have permeated in the world of bicycles.

At Temple they believe a product should last a lifetime, but they go further and build bikes that are easy to repair and maintain, with readily available parts...a fundamentally different approach than other bike companies. In addition, everything they do involves producing bicycles and products in a sustainable way, from the materials they use, the suppliers they work with and the processes they adopt.

This city bicycle with gears arrives around 80% assembled in a well-protected box. The most complicated is already assembled from the warehouse and the rest is very easily finished. You will have to install the front wheel, saddle and seat post, adjust the handlebars and place the pedals, though we recommend to have everything assembled by a professional.

When you take the bicycle out of the box remove all the protections and the front wheel that is attached to the frame. Then place the seat post and saddle in their corresponding place on the frame. The next part to place is the bicycle handlebars: tighten the stem screws and place the handlebars in the middle. Install the pedals on the cranks as follows: each pedal is marked with the letters L (left) and R (right) to indicate the side to be mounted. Place them slowly and carefully so as not to damage the thread of the crank arms. And finally place the front wheel in the fork dropouts and tighten the nuts.

You should have no problem with the assembly of the bicycle, it is quite straightforward. But if you are not confident in completing the assembly, we recommend that you take the bike to a nearby shop / bicycle mechanic so that a specialist can complete the assembly, and make sure you can ride the bicycle safely and assembled well for a smooth ride.
