I don’t know how and I know lots of parts were left, but isn’t that the nature of any repair… there are always extra pieces? 😉 He and his friend Will, from the cul de sac across from us, put the bike back together enough that it could be ridden. We, however, nixed that idea (after the fact) because we don’t think everything is really put back together correctly.
I actualy saw the brakes on the ground in the back yard still. D’oh!
