Personally, I'd rather assemble the bike myself than have a store clerk do it with a hammer and vice grips.
Within the last few weeks, I saw a likely "department store" disc brake mountain bike with the fork installed backwards. I was sitting at a traffic light when a guy pushed the bike through the crosswalk in front of me. the proximity of the front tire to the down tube caught my attention.
