• Inspect the complete frame for cracks, dents, distortion, heavy abrasion, suspicious paint differences or evidence of a previous repair.
• 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.

• Sight along the frame and fork from several directions. Confirm the fork, rear dropouts, head tube and other visible interfaces appear straight and symmetrical.
• Use professional alignment tools when crash history, wheel tracking, dropout position or bearing alignment cannot be established visually.

• Inspect threaded shells, bearing seats, axle interfaces and the derailleur hanger for corrosion, stripped threads, cracks, distortion or tool damage.
• Check the seatpost bore, seat clamp, bonded inserts, cable ports, guides and frame plugs for damage or missing hardware.
• Identify and measure every interface rather than assuming a standard from model name or appearance. Confirm replacement parts remain available before purchase.

• List every included part and small fitting, including axles, headset pieces, seat clamps, derailleur hangers, cable guides, frame plugs, suspension hardware and proprietary covers.
• Inspect threaded, pressed, clamped and bonded interfaces for corrosion, cracks, distortion, stripped threads, tool damage or improvised repairs.
• If damage, alignment or compatibility is uncertain, have the bare frameset inspected and measured by a qualified bicycle mechanic before choosing components.
