If you’re buying this frameset used
Before buying: confirm the serial number and exact model, inspect frame and fork alignment, and inventory every included axle, hanger, clamp, headset part, cable guide and proprietary fitting.
Inspect the frame and fork →- FrameCheck paint chips, vent holes and the inside of the seat tube for corrosion. Also look for dents, bent tubes and cracking around welded or brazed joints.Inspect the frame and fork →
- Included hardwareInventory every axle, hanger, clamp, headset part, cable guide, frame plug and proprietary fitting included with the frameset. Confirm replacement availability before treating a missing small part as insignificant.
- AlignmentSight along the frame and fork from several directions. Confirm that the fork, rear dropouts, head tube and other visible interfaces appear straight; professional measurement is appropriate when alignment cannot be established visually.
