2004 Burley Duet

Archived: Frame: TIG-welded · Fork: Burley · True Temper chromoly, unicrown crown

• Check paint damage, vent holes and accessible internal surfaces for corrosion. Look for dents, bent tubes and cracking around welded or brazed joints.
• Inspect the fork crown, blades, dropouts and visible steerer area. Check that it is straight, securely installed and free of cracks or impact damage.

Archived: Fork: Burley · Rear shock: Softride Suspension Beam

• Inspect the shock shaft and seals, cycle the rear suspension through its travel and check for oil, air loss, binding or unusual top-out and bottom-out noises.
• Hold the rear brake and load the suspension from several directions. Check pivots, bearings and mounting hardware for knock, looseness or side play.
• Ask for dated shock and pivot-service records. A clean exterior does not establish the condition of internal seals, oil, bushings or bearings.

Archived: Group: Tandem Mix · Shifters: Shimano 105 STI Dual Control · Front derailleur: Shimano 105, bottom-pull/clamp-on 28.6mm · Rear derailleur: Shimano Deore XT SGS · Crankset: TruVativ Elita ISIS, 30/42/52 teeth · Bottom bracket: TruVativ ISIS cartridge · Rear cogs: 9-speed, 11 - 32 teeth · Chain: Sunrace CN99, 1/2 x 3/32"

• Shift through every available gear under light load. Hesitation, skipping or inconsistent indexing can reflect wear, damage, poor adjustment or mismatched replacement parts.
• Measure chain wear with a compatible gauge and inspect chainring, cassette or freewheel teeth. A new chain does not rule out wear in the remaining drivetrain.
• Turn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Inspect crank arms, chainring bolts and pedal threads for looseness or damage.

Archived: Brakes: Tektro RX5 Mini-V brakes, Shimano 105 STI Dual Control levers

• Inspect pads and braking surfaces, check the complete cable or hose path, and confirm both controls feel consistent and return cleanly.

Archived: Wheel size: 700c wheels · Rims: Sun Venus, 40-hole · Hubs: Shimano Deore XT · Front tire: 700 x 28c Panaracer Pasela

• Spin both wheels and watch for side-to-side and vertical movement. Check spoke tension, rim condition and hub play.
• Inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking, plugs, bulges or exposed threads and confirm the installed sizes are safe for the rims and available frame and fork clearance.

Archived: Headset: 1 1/8" threadless Cane Creek STS · Handlebar: Ritchey Road Logic 31.8/Burley Upturn · Stem: Ritchey Comp 31.8 · Seatpost: Ritchey Comp · Saddle: Burley SBT Dual Density Men's/Women's · Pedals: Not included

• Apply the front brake and rock the bike to check for headset play or notchiness. Inspect the stem, handlebar and clamp zones, then confirm every fastener and control is secure.
• Check that the seatpost moves for adjustment and that the saddle, post and clamp hold securely without cracks, severe corrosion or damaged hardware.
