• 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.
• 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: microSHIFT trigger-shift, 5-speed · Rear derailleur: Shimano Nexus Inter-5E, 5-speed internal gear hub · Crankset: Samox Bosch E-bike, left 0 offset, right 13mm offset, w/ 52T Gates sprocket · Rear cogs: Gates CDC, 36T · Chain: Gates CDX, CenterTrack high-performance carbon belt, 132T

• Shift the hub through its complete range using the correct procedure. Check cable or electronic actuation, axle security, hub-shell condition and any sign of lubricant leakage.
• Inspect the belt teeth and edges for damage, verify alignment and tension, and check that any frame split or belt-tensioning hardware is secure.
• 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: Brakes Shimano UR300 hydraulic disc, 180/180mm RT64 rotors Brake Levers Shimano MT201 hydraulic disc

• Squeeze each lever firmly. It should feel consistent and return cleanly. Check levers, hoses and calipers for fluid, inspect pad thickness and contamination, and examine rotors for wear or bending.
• 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: Ryde, alloy, double wall, 32 hole, 25mm inner width, disc-specific · Hubs: (F) Shimano TC500, 12x100mm thru-axle / (R) Nexus 5-speed internal gear hub · Front tire: Continental Contact Urban, 700x50c (50-622) · Rear tire: Continental Contact Urban, 700x50c (50-622)

• 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: Integrated Sealed Bearing, Tapered, internal cable routing · Handlebar: Cannondale Urban Backsweep, 93mm rise, 24 degree sweep, 31.8 clamp, 700mm · Stem: Cannondale C1 Conceal, Alloy, 31.8, -6°, with SP-Connect SPC+ mount top cap · Seatpost: Cannondale 3, 6061 Alloy, 31.6, 300mm (SM), 350mm (MD), 400mm (L & XL) · Saddle: Selle Royal Essenza, Moderate Wide

• 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.

• Inspect the battery case, mount, lock and electrical contacts for cracks, impact, corrosion, swelling, overheating marks or looseness. Confirm the battery charges normally.
• Confirm the correct charger, battery keys and removable system parts are included. Check charger cables and connectors for damage or improvised repairs.
• Power the system on from cold, check the display for warnings, and test every assist mode. Assistance should engage and stop predictably without intermittent cutouts or abnormal motor noise.
• Ask for available battery-health, cycle-count, diagnostic and firmware records. Confirm that replacement batteries and system support remain available before agreeing on value.

• 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.
