Thank you for purchasing your bike from Performance.
We’re glad that we can be a part of your cycling
experience. Don’t forget, if you live in the area of a
Performance Bicycle retail store, you can bring your
new bike in for service for as long as you own it with
our Free Lifetime Adjustments.
If for any reason, you do not have the proper tools
or are not confident building a bike yourself, we
strongly suggest that you take your bike to a local
bike shop for assistance or have them assemble it.
They may charge you a fee to do so.
