Trade: Assemble bike

If you really think this then you are never allowed anywhere near my bike. Don't even look at it.

i've been building/fixing bikes in various forms since i was about 12 years old, everything i have learnt has been from books/internet and sensible tinkering. bikes are just lego. its not rocket science.

If you paid a mechanic to fix everything that went wrong with a bike, it would get very expensive, very quickly.

^ +1 to bikes are just lego.

(although i'd personally say meccano hehe)

^ Good luck with adjusting your bearings/truing your wheels/indexing your gears/toeing-in your brakes etc...

If i buy a bike from abroad, how hard is it to reassemble. How much would a bike shop charge for this service?

On a difficulty level, it's somewhere between making a sandwich and building an aircraft carrier. But that depends on how assembled it is beforehand and how competent you are.

^ Good luck with adjusting your bearings/truing your wheels/indexing your gears/toeing-in your brakes etc...

all done, apart from indexing, cos i dont have no gears.

smartypants

if i wanted to index. i'd probably watch something like this
Gear Adjustment - YouTube

and give it a go anway

To be fair. It didn't sound like the OP had given it all that much thought or had any experience with an alan key at all.

true, true
