• 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: ALUXX SL-grade aluminum, 12x142mm thru-axle, disc · Fork: Advanced-grade composite, full-composite OverDrive steerer, 12x100mm, disc · Carbon Fiber

• 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: Shifters: Shimano Tiagra · Front derailleur: Shimano Tiagra · Rear derailleur: Shimano Tiagra R4000 · Crankset: Shimano FC-R4000, 50/34 · Bottom bracket: Shimano, PressFit RS500 · Cassette: Shimano CS-RS400-11, 11X36, 11 speed · Chain: KMC X11

• 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: Shimano Tiagra, Giant MPH rotors, [F]160mm, [R]140mm

• 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: Rims: Giant ALP Disc · Hubs: Giant alloy, 12mm thru-axle · Front tire: Giant SR 1 700X28C, 60 TPI · Rear tire: Giant SR 1 700X28C, 60 TPI

• 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: Handlebar: Giant Contact, 31.8mm, 7.2 degree flare XXS: 350mm, XS: 350mm, S: 370mm, M: 370mm, L: 390mm · Stem: Giant Contact AeroLight, XXS: 80mm, XS: 80mm, S: 90mm, M: 90mm, L: 350mm · Seatpost: Giant D-Fuse, alloy, XXS: 300mm, XS: 300mm, S: 350mm, M: 350mm, L: 350mm · Saddle: Liv Grit

• 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.
