The Single Speed Shopper of Death™ and other shopping bike tales

hardhat wow. pretty cool to see it all stripped apart as well. great photos too. i'd love to completely pull apart a bike, but i fear once i did it i'd be stuck not knowing how to get all the pieces back together again. are there any special tools you need, or can you just use bog standard wrenches, allen keys and the like?

Monkey wrench - hammer - screwdriver and that's it.

Not an allen bolt in sight ! This thing was made pre-allen bolts/keys.
