Answer

$17$ complete bicycles.

Work Step by Step

To determine how many complete bicycles can be assembled, we need to find the limiting component — the part that runs out first based on how many of each are required per bike. Parts Required Per Bicycle: 1 frame 1 front wheel 1 rear wheel 2 pedals 1 set of handlebars 1 bike chain 1 front brake 1 rear brake See table. The limiting part is the front brake, which allows for only $17$ complete bicycles to be assembled.
