Step 1:
Take one last look at old bike (and wish you had cleaned it a little more often!)



Step 2:
Bring out box containing new bike, plus all necessary tools for assembly (including one bottle of Grolsch to help things along)



Step 3:
Open box and think to self "this may take me slightly longer than anticipated!"



Step 4:
Ensure that you are wearing appropriate footwear for the job



Step 5:
Work your ass off for 5 hours (because you will shear the bolt which secures the headset in half, so you will have to take off the one from your old bike and put this in it's place. Then you will put the rear tyre on backwards and have to do that again. Plus, it will take you ages to get the brakes set just right) and then step back and look at what you have done



Now all you have to do is take better care of this one and clean it more regularly (more than 4 times a year!)
