• 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: Cujo 24, SmartForm C2 Alloy, smooth welding · Fork: Cujo 24 Rigid, SmartForm C2 Alloy, 1-1/8” steerer, IS disc mount · Aluminum

• Look for dents or shape changes and inspect the edges of welds around the head tube, bottom bracket, seat cluster and suspension mounts for hairline cracks.
• 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: Shifters: Shimano Tourney Revo Twist Shifter, 8-speed · Rear derailleur: Shimano, TX800, 8-speed · Crankset: Prowheel, Pro-V30, 130mm length, 30T · Bottom bracket: Cartridge square taper · Rear cogs: Sunrace, 8-speed cassette, 11-34 · Chain: KMC, Z51, 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 cable actuated mechanical disc

• Check both cables and housings for corrosion, fraying or drag. Confirm each caliper releases cleanly, then inspect pad thickness, rotor wear and rotor alignment.
• Before riding, test every installed brake separately at walking speed. Each should stop firmly and release cleanly without its control reaching the end of its usable travel.

Archived: Wheel size: 24" · Rims: Cannondale C4 Disc, lightweight alloy, double wall, 24”, 29mm inner width, 28H · Hubs: Formula, 8-speed freehub, disc · Front tire: Kenda Slant 6, 24x2.6” · Rear tire: Kenda Slant 6, 24x2.6”

• 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, Alloy, 1-1/8” Ahead, integrated · Handlebar: Lightweight Alloy, 580mm wide, 25.4mm · Stem: Alloy Ahead, 75mm · Seatpost: Lightweight alloy, 25.4 mm · Saddle: Cannondale Ergo · Pedals: Wellgo Composite Platform w/ reflectors

• 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.
