• 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: Advanced SL-grade Composite, 12x142mm thru-axle, integrated seatpost, disc · Fork: Advanced SL-grade Composite, full-composite OverDrive Aero steerer, 12x100mm thru-axle, disc · Carbon Fiber

• 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: SRAM RED AXS E1 · Front derailleur: SRAM RED AXS E1 · Rear derailleur: SRAM RED AXS E1 · Crankset: SRAM RED E1 DUB, 35/48 with integrated Quarq Power Meter XS:165mm, S:165mm, M:170mm, M/L:170mm, L:172.5mm, XL:172.5mm · Bottom bracket: SRAM DUB ceramic, press fit · Cassette: SRAM RED, 12-speed, 10x33 · Chain: SRAM RED E1, 12-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: SRAM RED E1 hydraulic, SRAM CenterLine XR rotors [F]160mm, [R]140mm

• 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: CADEX Max 40 WheelSystem, [F]40mm, [R]40mm · Hubs: [F] CADEX R3 Aero Hub, CenterLock, 12mm thru-axle, [R] CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub, 48t ratchet driver, CenterLock, 12mm thru-axle · Front tire: CADEX Road Race GC, tubeless, 700x30mm, folding · Rear tire: CADEX Road Race GC, tubeless, 700x30mm, folding

• 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: Handlebar: Giant Contact SLR XS:420/370mm, S:420/370mm, M:440/390mm, M/L:440/390mm, L:440/390mm, XL:440/390mm · Stem: Giant Contact SLR AeroLight XS:80mm, S:90mm, M:100mm, M/L:110mm, L:110mm, XL:120mm · Seatpost: Giant Integrated Seatpost, -5/+15mm offset · Saddle: CADEX AMP

• 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.
