• 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.

• Inspect the frame in bright light, especially the head tube, bottom-bracket area, chainstays and clamped surfaces. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of impact.
• 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.

Archived: Shifters: Shimano Ultegra Di2 hydro disc, 2x11 · Front derailleur: Shimano Ultegra Di2, braze-on · Rear derailleur: Shimano Ultegra Di2 GS · Crankset: Cannondale 1, BB30a, FSA rings, 50/34 · Bottom bracket: Cannondale Alloy PressFit30 · Rear cogs: Shimano 105, 11-34, 11-speed · Chain: Shimano HG601, 11-speed

• Confirm every shift battery charges and every control operates. Shift through the full cassette under light load while checking pairing, derailleur alignment and response at both ends of the range.
• 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: Shimano Ultegra Di2 hydro disc, 160/160mm RT30 rotors

• Inspect pads, rotors, calipers and the complete cable or hose path. Both levers should feel consistent and both calipers should release without persistent rubbing.
• 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: 700c · Rims: Fulcrum Racing 600 DB, Alloy clincher, 26mm deep · Hubs: (F) Fulcrum Racing 600 DB, 12x100 / (R) Fulcrum Racing 600 DB, 12x142 · Front tire: Vittoria Rubino Pro Bright Black, 700x30c · Rear tire: Vittoria Rubino Pro Bright Black, 700x30c

• 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: Synapse, 1-1/4” lower bearing, 25mm top cap · Handlebar: Cannondale 2, 7050 Alloy, Compact · Stem: Cannondale 2, 6061 Alloy, 31.8, 7° · Seatpost: Cannondale 2, UD Carbon, 25.4 x 350mm · Saddle: Fabric Scoop Shallow Sport, steel rails · 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.
