IKEA bike

I guess most of you know what [tag]IKEA[/tag] is? The [tag]self-assembly[/tag] Swedish style furniture, in Europe wide-known and ubiquitous chain? And I know they don’t make bikes. However….
My husband bought me a [tag]bike[/tag]. One just like this one. It arrived in a nice box:

And with the know-how knowledge of my husband, when I came back from work, the bike was ready to ride. What a disappointment for me! I am getting bike for assembly, and don’t even get to see the assembling process? Luckily, the frame was not exactly for my height, so I needed to get a new frame. This time, instructed step by step, I disassembled the bike with my own hands into pieces, and when the new frame arrived, mostly assembled it myself. The final result:

I guess most fun was from using the torque wrench :) .
