SO... following advice from other parts I'm 98% going to buy a Radon bike from Bike-discount.de.
The bike arrives boxed do I'm going to have to get some tools out and attach a few bits... Wheels, saddle, handlebars , pedals etc and play around with a few things like position of brake/gear levers.
What else should I expect to do?
Will the gears be well set up our will they require tweeking?
Will the hydraulic brakes be good to go?
...
Anything else I might have to do?

Gears will be set up, but may well need a tweak, like they do in use.
Brakes will need bedding in obviously.
If it's supplied with cheap and nasty pedals you may want to get better ones to fit in advance.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Thanks.
That's about what I hoped it would be.
I am ordering some wellgo b143's at the same time as I don't believe there are any pedals with it.0
