• 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: S-Works E5 Premium Aluminum w/ D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology, tapered headtube, OSBB; Di2 only · Fork: S-Works FACT carbon, full monocoque · 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: Group: Shimano Dura Ace Di2 · Shifters: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 STI, 11-speed · Front derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, 11-speed, clamp-on · Rear derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, 11-speed · Crankset: S-Works FACT carbon, OSBB, 52/36 · Bottom bracket: Press Fit · Rear cogs: Shimano Dura-Ace, 11-speed, 11-28 · Chain: Shimano Dura-Ace, 11-speed

• Confirm every shift battery charges and every control operates. Shift through the full cassette under light load while checking pairing, derailleur alignment and response at both ends of the range.
• 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 Dura-Ace

• 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: Wheel size: 29 · Rims: Roval Rapide CLX 40, w/ CeramicSpeed ceramic bearings · Hubs: Roval Rapide CLX 40, w/ CeramicSpeed ceramic bearings · Front tire: S-Works Turbo, 220TPI, folding bead, BlackBelt protection, 700x24c

• 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" upper race, 1-3/8" lower, hybrid cartridge lightweight bearings, 8mm carbon cone spacer, w/ 20mm of carbon spacers · Handlebar: S-Works Aerofly · Stem: S-Works SL, 6-degree rise, w/ Ti bolt · Seatpost: S-Works FACT carbon, 20mm offset, 27.2mm, w/ internal battery · Saddle: Body Geometry Toupé Pro, carbon rails, 143mm · Pedals: Nylon flat test ride, loose-ball, w/ reflectors

• 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.
