• Find the size marking on the bicycle and confirm the fit before judging the condition or price.

Archived: Frame: CAAD14, SmartForm C1 Premium Alloy, integrated cable routing, 12x142 thru-axle, BSA 68mm threaded BB, flat mount disc, UDH · Fork: CAAD14, full carbon, 1-1/8" to 1-1/2" Delta Steerer, integrated crown race, 12x100mm thru-axle, flat mount disc, internal routing, 55mm offset (44-54cm), 45mm offset (56-61cm) · Carbon fiber

• 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: SRAM Rival AXS · Front derailleur: SRAM Rival AXS, braze-on · Rear derailleur: SRAM Rival AXS · Crankset: SRAM Rival, 48/35: 165mm (48-51cm), 170mm (54-56cm) 172.5mm (58-61cm) · Bottom bracket: SRAM DUB BSA · Rear cogs: SRAM Rival, 10-36, 12-speed · Chain: SRAM Rival

• 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.

• 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: DT Swiss E1800 Spline, 24h, tubeless ready · Hubs: (F) DT Swiss 370, 12x100mm centerlock / (R) DT Swiss 370 LN Ratchet System, 12x142mm centerlock · Front tire: Vittoria Rubino Pro IV, 700x28c · Rear tire: Vittoria Rubino Pro IV, 700x28c

• 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.
• Confirm whether the bike is actually set up tubeless, whether both tires hold pressure, and when sealant and rim tape were last serviced.

Archived: Headset: Integrated, 1-1/8" - 1.5" · Handlebar: Vision Trimax Aero: 400mm (48-56cm), 420mm (58-61cm) · Stem: Cannondale C1 Conceal, Alloy, 31.8, -6°: 90mm (48-52cm), 100mm (54-56cm), 110mm (58-61cm) · Seatpost: Cannondale SAVE Carbon, 27.2x350mm, 11mm offset · Saddle: Prologo Nago RS STN

• 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.
