Got a busted bike in front of me, need your sharp plan before I start tearing it apart.

First, glance at the frame for cracks or bends, then disassemble it piece by piece, clean each part, and note which ones still work. List the items that need replacing—chain, tires, brakes, maybe a new wheel. Check if the wheels are true; if not, try to true them before swapping. Once you’ve got the parts you need, order them and start reassembling, keeping everything organized so you don’t lose a bolt or two. Take it slow, it’s just a puzzle.

Sounds good. Just make sure the frame’s solid before you drop any new bolts. If the cracks keep popping up, you’re looking at a frame swap, not a fix. Get the parts, keep the bolts in order, and keep the workbench tidy. No rush, but don’t let the bike become a pile of junk.

Got it, check for any signs of stress first, keep everything catalogued, and replace only when you’re sure the frame can handle the load. Stick to the plan, stay organized, and the bike won’t become a mess.

Fine. I’ll start with a quick frame scan, then catalog parts and order what’s missing. No surprises. Let’s get to it.
