The bicycles we sell are best described as "Project Bikes" that have one or more of the following issues:

- frame damage

- defective and/or worn-out parts

- parts that are missing

We don't perform any maintenance or repair work on the bicycles in our inventory. At a minimum, a bicycle purchased from us will need to be professionally assembled and inspected for safe operation. Most will also need extensive service work.

CONDITION

Our visual inspection of this bicycle was focused mainly on the structural integrity of the frame and fork, with less effort devoted to inspection of the components (cockpit, drivetrain, wheels).

Damage that exceeds the following common conditions is described further down in this section:

- light scratches and small dings

- minor damage to finish due to cable, heel, and chain rub

- what might be typical for a bike of this type and/or age (e.g. crank arm damage from curb and/or rock strikes, etc.)


Frame/Fork

We found damage in the following location(s):

It's the buyer's sole responsibility, ideally in consultation with a carbon repair expert, to determine whether or not any area of carbon damage identified in this listing actually needs to be repaired in order for this bicycle to be considered safe to ride, specifically with respect to the structural integrity of the frame and fork. For expert inspection and repair of damaged carbon, we recommend Broken Carbon in Boulder, CO.

Other than the damage noted above, frame/fork in great condition.

Cockpit (tape/handlebar/stem/seatpost/saddle)

- The stem is missing the proprietary faceplate

- Stem / headset cover is included, not installed

- The extensions are not installed

- Otherwise, cockpit is in great condition


Drivetrain (controls/brakes/derailleurs/crankset/cassette/chain)

- The front derailleur shifter hose is severed and has to be replaced

- Brake hoses need replacement

- Rear derailleur functions

- Front derailleur will require a tune up after replacing the cable and housing

- Light wear on components 

Wheelset

- Wheelset is in great condition with minor cosmetic blemishes

With regard to the current state of tune and continued serviceability of the components (cockpit, drivetrain, wheels), assume the following:

- We have not checked the torque values of bolts and other fasteners on this bicycle, and it's certainly possible that some, and maybe even all, of these fasteners are not tightened to the manufacturers' recommended torque specifications, and, in fact, might actually be loose (e.g. loose enough to cause a component or small part to move unexpectedly or fall off, or otherwise cause a safety hazard and risk of personal injury or death).

- We have not checked the condition or adjustment of bearings (headset, bottom bracket, derailleur pulley, hub, freehub), and some or all might need to be adjusted or replaced.

- We have not checked the operation of drivetrain control components (shifters, brakes, derailleurs), and some or all might need to be adjusted. In the case of bikes with hydraulic brakes, the front and/or rear brake systems might need to be bled.

- We have not evaluated the condition and remaining service life of drivetrain wear components (brake pads, disc brake rotors, cables/housing, chainrings, cassette, chain), and some or all might need to be replaced.

- In the case of bikes with disc brakes, we have not checked the alignment of the rotors, and one or both might need to be trued.

- We have not checked the alignment of the wheels, and one or both might need to be trued and/or dished.

- We have not evaluated the condition of the tires or tubes, and some or all might need to be replaced. In the case of bikes with tubeless compatible rims, we have not checked to see if tubeless tape and/or tubeless valve stems are installed. In the case of bikes with tubular tires, we have not evaluated the age or condition of the tubular glue, and it's prudent to assume that the tires need to be re-glued in order achieve a safe and reliable adhesion between tires and rims.
