Is this bike worth repairing?

Question number 2: Since you have never worked on a bike before, did you mark where all the parts went so you can put it back without have parts left over?

If the bike wasn't assembled correctly by the department store where you bought it (they very seldom are) a trip to your local bike shop would have done the trick if you weren't certain on what to do.

I am repainting the frame because I am just one of those people who really enjoys having unique stuff. I customize pretty much everything I own its just something I enjoy doing.

I guess marking all the parts would have been a good idea. I have a second bike identical to this one that I can use as reference when I go to reassemble this one. I have worked on cars my whole life so I am pretty good at reassembling things that I take apart and this bike really didn't seem all that difficult to reassemble.


I realize I could have just taken this bike to a bike shop and had it fixed but I really was just looking for something to do and my wife was going to scrap these bikes anyway.
