Photo, pricing and handover guide (opens in a new tab)
The Archive’s model image helps identify the original model; it does not show what you are selling. Check the frame markings and actual equipment, and describe upgrades or replacements separately.
Active asking prices alone do not establish a sale value. Agree on payment and handover through the marketplace’s supported process. Remove personal accessories and account connections before the handover, and mark your ad sold afterwards.
It identifies the archived model and its available factory specifications. It does not verify ownership, originality or current condition. Describe what you are selling in your ad and show it in your own photos.
Platforms control how links appear. Use the spec URL only where external links are permitted. eBay generally prohibits off-site URLs, including plain addresses; choose the eBay text-only format in the builder. Keep essential size, equipment and condition details in the ad itself.
Choose Enter a model manually in the builder, then identify the model from its frame markings and original documentation, and include only details you can establish. A local bicycle shop may help with an uncertain size or model.
