• 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 FACT 11r carbon, disc-specific, 1-3/8" lower bearing, OSBB · Fork: Specialized FACT carbon · Carbon Fiber

• 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: Shimano Dura Ace · Shifters: Shimano 785 Di2, 11-speed · Front derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, 11-speed, braze-on · Rear derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, 11-speed · Crankset: S-Works FACT carbon, OSBB, 46/36, w/ CeramicSpeed ceramic bearings · 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 785, hydraulic disc, Ice Tech resin pads w/ fins

• 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: 700c · Rims: Roval Control SL CX SCS, carbon · Hubs: Roval Control SL CX SCS, carbon · Front tire: Specialized Terra Pro, 60TPI, 2Bliss Ready, folding bead, 700x33c

• 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" upper, 1-3/8” lower, light alloy housing, stainless steel bearings, 8mm carbon cone spacer, w/ 25mm of carbon spacers · Handlebar: Specialized Comp, shallow drop, alloy, 125mm drop, 70mm reach · Stem: S-Works SL, alloy, 4-bolt · Seatpost: Specialized CG-R, FACT carbon, single bolt, 27.2mm · Saddle: Body Geometry Phenom Expert, hollow Ti 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.
