• 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: Hi-Ten tubing with SST tubing diameters, tapered rear stays, rear entry dropouts with fender eyelets · Fork: Unicrown straight blade with double fender eyelets

• Check paint damage, vent holes and accessible internal surfaces for corrosion. Look for dents, bent tubes and cracking around welded or brazed joints.
• 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: Crankset: Forged alloy crank, single 46T alloy chainring, 170mm · Bottom bracket: Sealed Cartridge · Cassette: 16T Freewheel and fix gear · Chain: KMC Z410A

• 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: Promax long reach alloy calipers with shorty brake levers

• Inspect pads and braking surfaces, check the complete cable or hose path, and confirm both controls feel consistent and return cleanly.
• 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: Wheels: 40mm Deep Dish Alloy rims with black CNC sidewall, 32H, alloy track hubs with flip/flop rear and 14G black electroplated spokes · Front tire: Urban, 700 x 32c · Rear tire: Urban, 700 x 32c

• 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: Threadless, 1 1/8” · Handlebar: Rise bar, aluminum, 25.4 barbore, 540mm wide, 10mm rise, 10ç sweep · Stem: Jamis Road, 3D forged 6061 alloy, 15 ̊ x 60mm (47/50), 105mm (53/55), 120mm (57/59/62) · Seatpost: Jamis alloy micro-adjust, 27.2 x 350mm with alloy clamp · Saddle: Jamis Vintage with perforated cover · Pedals: Touring platform, steel cage/resin body

• 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.
