Frame setup, crank set, wheel setup and install, shifting system install and configuration, brake assembly. At least, this was the order of things for the bike I helped assemble this weekend.

You first need to define your scope. Are you manufacturing the frame and all the components? Are you assembling from commercial off the shelf parts? The difference is vast.

Isn't that one of the exercises in the PMI WBS Practice Guide? If so, just download a copy of that and you are all set...

It would depend on where you want to start. What is your value proposition? Are you planning to built bicycles for the masses or are you planning on bringing a new concept to market i.e. chainless final drive? This would determine where your WBS starts because you might have to include ideation tasks before you start your actual build.

Take a look to WBS Standard where you can find different examples.

I just confirmed that page 50 of the Practice Standard for WBSs provides an example WBS for "Construct a Custom Bicycle".
