• 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 11m, full carbon frame w/unique S-Works lay-up, XC Geometry, PF30 BB, carbon headset cups, 12x142mm rear spacing, internal cable routing, front derailleur mount, 100mm of travel, SWAT™ tool cradle · Fork: RockShox RS-1 Brain, Solo Air spring, Spike Valve, top-mount Brain Fade adjust, rebound adjust, inverted design, tapered carbon crown/steerer, 15mm Maxle Stealth thru-axle, 51mm offset, 100mm of travel · 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.

Archived: Fork: RockShox RS-1 Brain, Solo Air spring, Spike Valve, top-mount Brain Fade adjust, rebound adjust, inverted design, tapered carbon crown/steerer, 15mm Maxle Stealth thru-axle, 51mm offset, 100mm of travel · Rear shock: Fox/SBC Epic remote Mini Brain w/Auto Sag and Spike Valve. Brain Fade adjust I-Valve, 205 x 53mm, with Kashima Coating

• 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: Shifters: Shimano XTR M9050 Di2, electric 11-speed · Front derailleur: Shimano XTR M9070 Di2, down-swing, 2x11 · Rear derailleur: Shimnao XTR M9050 Di2, Shadow Plus design, 11-speed · Crankset: RaceFace Next SL, hollow carbon, 11-speed, 30mm spindle, 49mm chainline, 36/26T · Cassette: Shimano XTR M9001, 11-speed, 11-40t · Chain: Shimano HG901, 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: (F) Shimano XTR M9000, hydraulic disc, post mount, metallic pads, 180/160mm rotors / (R) Shimano XTR M9000, hydraulic disc, post mount, metallic pads, 160mm rotors

• 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: Rims: Roval Control SL 29, hookless carbon, 22mm inner width, 24/28h, tubeless ready · Hubs: (F) Roval Control SL, Torque Tube · Front tire: Fast Trak, Control casing, 29x2.2"", 60TPI, Aramid folding bead, 2Bliss Ready · Rear tire: Fast Trak, Control casing, 29x2.2"", 60TPI, Aramid folding bead, 2Bliss Ready

• 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.
• Confirm whether the bike is actually set up tubeless, whether both tires hold pressure, and when sealant and rim tape were last serviced.

Archived: Handlebar: Specialized Mini-rise, FACT carbon, 6-degree upsweep, 8-degree backsweep, 10mm rise, 720mm, 31.8mm · Stem: Syntace F109, 6-degree rise, 31.8mm clamp · Seatpost: S-Works FACT carbon, 0mm setback, carbon rail clamps · Saddle: Body Geometry S-Works Phenom, carbon rails, 143mm

• 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.
