• 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: 6061-T6 aluminum low-step with Flat Foot Technology · Fork: SM: 26'' Alloy unicrown, curved tapered leg with internal brake routing and ThruSkew 5mm bolt-on skewer / ML: 27.5'' Alloy unicrown, curved tapered leg with internal brake routing and ThruSkew 5mm bolt-on skewer · 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: Group: 8-speed · Shifters: MicroShift trigger, w/optical gear indicator, 8-speed · Rear derailleur: MicroShift Mezzo, 8-speed · Crankset: Forged alloy, 44T, chainguard, 170mm length · Cassette: Shimano HG31, 11-34, 8 speed · Chain: KMC Z8.3 RB, rust resistant

• 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: Rush hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor, brake switching

• 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: Rims: SM: Alloy double wall, 26''x36h / ML: Alloy double wall, 27.5''x36h · Hubs: (F) Alloy low-flange w/6-bolt disc, 36h, w/QR · Front tire: SM: 26x2.35'' balloon / ML: 27.5x2.35'' balloon · Rear tire: SM: 26x2.35'' balloon / ML: 27.5x2.35'' balloon

• 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: Sealed cartridge bearing, internal cable routing · Handlebar: Alloy custom bend, 700mm wide, 100mm rise · Stem: Alloy custom stem, QR basket mount, Quad-Lock mount · Seatpost: SM: Alloy 31.6mmx330mm, black / SM: Alloy 31.6mmx330mm, silver / ML: Alloy 31.6mmx400mm, silver / ML: Alloy 31.6mmx400mm, black · Saddle: Ergonomic w/shock-absorbing elastomers · Pedals: Resin platform, non-slip tread

• 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.

Archived: Motor: SM, ML: Hub drive motor, 60 Nm, 500W, 36H, black / SM, ML: Hub drive motor, 60 Nm, 500W, 36H, silver · Battery: 520Wh, integrated in down tube · Display: LCD display · Charger: Custom magnetic charger, 3A

• 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.
