Your changes apply to this calculation. The archived build stays unchanged.

Gears Drivetrain

Front teeth Smallest rear teeth Largest rear teeth

Use up to three front tooth counts, separated by /. For one rear sprocket, enter the same count twice.

Rear tire

Rear tire marking

Apply the marking on your rear tire or edit its dimensions below. Older or fractional inch sizes need the ISO marking (e.g. 37-590).

Rim diameter (BSD, mm) Tire width (mm)

For 32-622, width is 32 mm and rim diameter is 622 mm. Use the rear tire on mixed-wheel bikes. Leave both fields empty to compare ratios only.

Checks selected from the archived equipment. Confirm what is fitted today. This is not a complete safety inspection; use the full inspection guide before test riding.

Full used-bike inspection guide →

Frame and fork

Inspect the frame and fork →

Archived: Frame: TIG-welded · Fork: Mandaric Tin Blade · Columbus Nivacrom, unicrown crown

Inspect the complete frame for cracks, dents, distortion, heavy abrasion, suspicious paint differences or evidence of a previous repair.
Inspect the fork crown, blades, dropouts and visible steerer area. Check that it is straight, securely installed and free of cracks or impact damage.

Drivetrain

Check drivetrain wear →

Archived: Group: Campagnolo Record · Crankset: Campagnolo Record Track · Bottom bracket: Campagnolo Record Track, 115 mm spindle · Rear cogs: 1-speed, 11 teeth · Chain: Campagnolo Record, 1/2 x 1/8"

Check chain tension and chainline, rotate the drivetrain through a full revolution and confirm the rear axle or tensioning hardware cannot slip.
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.

Wheels and tires

Archived: Wheel size: Front: 26", Rear: 700c wheels · Rims: Front: Campagnolo Shamal, Rear: Campagnolo disc, 12-hole · Hubs: Front: Campagnolo Record, Rear: Campagnolo disc · Front tire: Front: 26" Vittoria Pista CL, Rear: 700 x 18c Vittoria Pista CL

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.

Controls and contact points

Archived: Headset: 1" Campagnolo Record · Handlebar: Syntace · Stem: Cinelli · Seatpost: Campagnolo Record, 27.2 mm diameter · Saddle: Selle Italia Flite Carbon · Pedals: Not included

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.
