I think BikesDirect should offer that as an option.

Hi,

Even as a kid I found taking stuff apart to be remarkably easy.
Putting it back together is an entirely different ballgame that
needs a far higher level of skill and imagination, and being
able to recognise the impossible, you don't have the jigs.

I looked at a broken kids plastic typwriter once, got the
shells apart and it did almost literally explode into a
pile of parts I couldn't hope to put back together.

rgds, sreten.

I still have that problem, I should really take photos when I take stuff apart.

I've seen BD customer reports that say this is pretty much what they got. :)

They even took the chain apart. That's a lot of parts. Pretty cool.

I remember this TV game show from 1960 or so, maybe it was People Are Funny.
Twice they gave a box of car parts to a 2 or 3 mechanics team, with 1 week to put it together. I think they did.
They only won a few hundred bucks. $20 got my family a weeks groceries back then.
