• 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: Bonded/monocoque · Fork: Specialized FACT carbon · Carbon, aero crown

• Inspect the frame in bright light, especially the head tube, bottom-bracket area, chainstays and clamped surfaces. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of impact.
• 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: Group: Hybrid Mix · Shifters: Shimano R-770-10, Rapidfire · Front derailleur: Shimano FD-R770 Ultegra for flat H/B's · Rear derailleur: Shimano New Ultegra, 10-speed, short cage · Crankset: FSA SL-K, hollow carbon 2-piece, five arm, super high modulus carbon, 50Ax36A teeth · Bottom bracket: FSA Mega EXO · Rear cogs: 10-speed, 12 - 27 teeth · Chain: Shimano CN-6600

• 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 New 105, caliper brakes brakes, Tektro Eclipse, carbon lever levers

• Inspect pads, cables and housings, then examine both rim braking surfaces for concavity, cracking or heavy wear. Confirm each caliper returns and centers correctly.
• 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: Wheel size: 700c wheels · Rims: Shimano R600, 16-hole/20-hole · Hubs: Front: Shimano R600, Shimano QR, Rear: Shimano R600, aluminum freehub body, Shimano QR · Front tire: 700 x 25c Specialized All Condition, aramid bead, 120TPI w/Armadillo

• 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: Headset: 1 1/8" Specialized Mindset integrated threadless, with triple sealed cartr · Handlebar: Specialized, carbon, 580mm width, 3 ply weave · Stem: Specialized 3D forged alloy, 6 degree rise · Seatpost: Specialized Pavé, FACT carbon, 27.2mm diameter · Saddle: Body Geometry Avatar, microfiber, hollow Cr-Mo rails · Pedals: Shimano 520R, SPD

• 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. Look particularly closely for crushing, scoring or cracks at carbon handlebar clamp areas.
• 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.
