Used-bike inspection
If you’re buying this bike used
Before any test ride: both brakes should stop the bike firmly and release cleanly; both wheels should run true and be securely attached; tires should have no casing damage; and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals should have no looseness or play.
Follow the full used-bike inspection order →- FrameLook closely for dents and hairline cracks around welds, the head tube and bottom-bracket area. Cosmetic scratches matter less than a change in shape or a crack line.Inspect the frame and fork →
- BrakesTest each brake separately and confirm it stops firmly and releases cleanly. Inspect the pads and braking surfaces for wear or contamination, and check the cables or hoses for damage.Inspect the brakes →
- SuspensionAsk when the fork was last serviced. Check the stanchions for damage, look for oil at the seals and make sure the fork moves smoothly without bushing play.Evaluate the suspension →
- DrivetrainShift through every gear under light load and measure chain wear. Confirm that the shifter, derailleur, chain and cassette belong to the same 10-speed system.Check drivetrain wear →
- Wheels & tiresSpin both wheels and watch the rims for side-to-side or vertical movement. Check for dents, cracks, loose or uneven spokes and hub play, then inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking or exposed threads.Check wheels and tires →

Market Snapshot
Velopedia did not find a close used eBay listing in the latest snapshot. New and used listings remain separate.
Listings shown have not passed their eBay-supplied end time. Velopedia rechecks matched bicycles on a protected weekly cycle; availability can still change between checks. Price calculations use active fixed-price and Best Offer item prices before shipping and tax. Auction bids, auction-only prices, classified ads, lower-confidence Review candidates and ended listings are excluded. These observations are not completed-sale prices, a certified appraisal or a guarantee of value.
Specifications are presented as a reference. Components may vary by market, size, production run, or later manufacturer revisions.
