• Confirm the frame markings and seller description match this archived model. Note every component that differs from the published build.
• Record the frame serial number. It should be legible, unaltered and consistent with the seller’s ownership history.
• Find the size marking on the bicycle and confirm the fit before judging the condition or price.

Archived: Frame: TIG-welded/Monocoque · Fork: Cannondale Slice Premium · Aluminum, aero crown

• Inspect composite areas in bright light for impact marks, cracks, ripples or crushed clamp zones. Check metal sections and welds separately for dents or cracking.
• Stand behind and in front of the bicycle to look for obvious frame, fork or wheel misalignment. Ask directly about crashes, transport damage and repairs.
• 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: Group: Shimano Dura-Ace · Shifters: Shimano Dura-Ace · Front derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace · Rear derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace · Crankset: FSA SL-K Carbon, 39/53 teeth · Bottom bracket: FSA MegaEXO · Rear cogs: 10-speed, 12 - 25 teeth · Chain: Shimano Dura-Ace

• 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: Cannondale C1 Carbon brakes, Shimano Dura-Ace levers

• Inspect pads and braking surfaces, check the complete cable or hose path, and confirm both controls feel consistent and return cleanly.
• Before riding, test the front and rear brakes separately at walking speed. Each should stop firmly and release cleanly without the lever reaching the handlebar.

Archived: Wheel size: 700c wheels · Rims: Mavic Ksyrium Elite · Hubs: Mavic Ksyrium Elite · Front tire: 700 x 23c Maxxis Columbiere

• 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.
• Remove and reinstall or closely inspect both wheel-retention systems. Axles or quick releases should tighten correctly with undamaged threads, hardware and dropouts.

Archived: Headset: FSA Carbon integrated · Handlebar: FSA RD-250 · Stem: Cannondale C3 · Seatpost: Cannondale C2 Carbon-wrapped · Saddle: Fi'zi:k Arione Mg · 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.

• Before riding, confirm both wheels are secure, tires are safe, both brakes function, and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals have no looseness.
• Begin at low speed. Test steering, braking and shifting progressively, then load the drivetrain and suspension only after the basic safety checks pass.
• Listen and feel for repeated knocks, grinding, skipping, brake pulsation or movement at joints. Stop the test if the bicycle cannot be controlled safely.
