Whats wrong with this picture?

[Andy Mink]

So, I'm ambling through Costco getting my steps in where there is A/C since it's 100° out and I do a double take. Proof that not all directions are followed all of the time. (And by what's wrong I mean the most obvious, bike brand etc. aside )

It's September and the Christmas trees are out?

I saw that after I looked at the photo on the computer. That's really wrong too! To be fair the Christmas trees have been out since August.

I'm gonna guess the handle bars are on backwards.

Forks are on backwards ( compared to the handlebars )

It's the fork. So in a way, yes. You just made my head hurt!

DA F*CK?!?

My first thought was:this cable should be on the left, they are always on the left and then it slowly dawned on me.

The next question is - can it be corrected without taking the grips off the bars.

Are you serious? Loosen the stem bolts rotate to the correct orientation and retighten.

Only if the cable runs are loose enough - and then you wind up with a twisted mess with little play in it.

Ok, then unmount the brake levers and remount once turned. Still doesn't require the grips removed.

And that is why you buy a bike at a bike store.

The sad thing is, someone is going to buy that bike , take it home and ride it, completely oblivious to the fact it misassembled.
