Mackay Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Try and check if the threads on the frame are fine for putting in bolts and bottom bracket, apart from that it's just common sense really about dents, scratches, cracks etc.hope i helped.

Mackay Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 a pretty good bike for the price, depending on condition on parts i would probably go for itmight want to consider changing the front brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob l Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 look for any stress areas and look for how many dents are in the down tube.also check the weld mainly on the reer end for cracks or chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
