The missus is about to buy a bicycle from halfords - Yes, I know, but she's on a very tight budget.
Anyway, the bike she wants is £20 cheaper if you buy it and assemble it yourself. Now, I'm no mechanic, and I've never really fiddled with a bike before, but I like to think I can turn my hand to most things.
So, does assembling a bike require any specialist tools? I have standard spanner/ratchets/screwdrivers, but if I'm going to have to spend a load of money on bike specific tools, its not worth it.
Also, assuming you approach it logically, I assume assembling a bike is reasonably straightforward? Or is this one of those things where you have to already know how to do it before you start?
