• 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: FACT 11m carbon, 29” geometry, FACT IS construction, tapered headtube, carbon PF30 BB, full internal cable routing, 142mm dropouts, sealed cartridge bearing pivots, replaceable derailleur hanger, 110mm travel · Fork: FOX Float CTD Factory 29, Kashima coating, FIT damper, air spring, tapered steerer, compression, lockout, and rebound adjust, 15mm thru-axle, 110mm travel · Suspension

• 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.

Archived: Fork: FOX Float CTD Factory 29, Kashima coating, FIT damper, air spring, tapered steerer, compression, lockout, and rebound adjust, 15mm thru-axle, 110mm travel · Rear shock: Custom FOX Float CTD Factory w/ AUTOSAG and Boost Valve, Kashima coating, Climb, Trail, Descend settings w/ Trail and rebound adjust, 197x48mm

• Inspect the fork stanchions for scratches or coating wear, look for oil or dirt rings at the seals, and cycle the fork through its travel while checking for binding or bushing play.
• Inspect the shock shaft and seals, cycle the rear suspension through its travel and check for oil, air loss, binding or unusual top-out and bottom-out noises.
• Hold the rear brake and load the suspension from several directions. Check pivots, bearings and mounting hardware for knock, looseness or side play.
• Ask for dated fork, shock and pivot-service records. A clean exterior does not establish the condition of internal seals, oil, bushings or bearings.

Archived: Group: SRAM XX1 · Shifters: SRAM XX1, 11-speed, trigger · Rear derailleur: SRAM XX1, 11-speed · Crankset: S-Works FACT carbon, custom XX1 chainring, OSBB, 30T, 104mm BCD spider · Bottom bracket: Praxis, PF30, OS press-in bearings, sealed cartridge · Rear cogs: SRAM XX1, 11-speed, 10-42 · Chain: SRAM PC-XX1, 11-speed, w/ PowerLink

• 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 XTR, hydraulic disc, Ti-metal pads, Ice Tech rotor, S/M: 180mm rotor, Others: 200mm, Shimano XTR, hydraulic disc, Ti-metal pads, Ice Tech rotor, S/M: 160mm rotor, Others: 180mm

• Squeeze each lever firmly. It should feel consistent and return cleanly. Check levers, hoses and calipers for fluid, inspect pad thickness and contamination, and examine rotors for wear or bending.
• 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 Control SL 29, carbon disc, 22mm internal width, 24/28h · Hubs: Roval Control SL 29, alloy hub body w/ Labyrinth design, 15mm thru-axle, 24h, Roval Control SL 29 142+, DT Swiss Star Ratchet, XX1 driver body, 12mm thru-axle, 28h · Front tire: Specialized Ground Control, 60TPI, 2Bliss Ready, folding bead, 29x2.3", Specialized Ground Control, 60TPI, 2Bliss Ready, folding bead, 29x2.1"

• Spin both wheels and watch for side-to-side and vertical movement. Check spoke tension, rim condition and hub play. Inspect the carbon rims closely for impact marks, cracks, delamination or damage around spoke holes and bead hooks.
• 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 and 1-1/2" threadless, Campy style upper with 1-1/2" lower, cartridge bearings · Handlebar: Specialized XC, mini rise, 7050 alloy, 8-backsweep, 6-upsweep, 10mm rise, 31.8mm · Stem: Syntace F109, 6-degree rise · Seatpost: Command Post IR, 3-position height adjustable, alien head design, bottom mount cable routing, w/ remote adjust SRL, 30.9mm, 100mm travel · Saddle: Body Geometry Henge Expert, hollow Ti rails, 143mm · Pedals: Resin test ride, w/ toe clips, CEN std.

• 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.
• Cycle the dropper post repeatedly. It should reach full travel, remain extended under load and have no unusual oil, excessive rotational play or damaged remote, cable, hose or battery.

• 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.
