[QUOTE="wannayz, post: 730979, member: 34378"] I think you can make a pretty decent assessment of any bike by the way it looks and how it starts/runs. I agree that a raced bike can be in great shape if it was well serviced - that though is a matter of trust in the seller. Look at the bike - look at the frame - the welds. Look at the chain and sprockets. Does it have good compression upon kicking, start easily (cold especially), have clean exhaust, idle and power up smoothly. Does it shift smoothly? Major internal issues usually show up readily. Any breakage from metal fatigue after you buy it is always possible so I like to know what was (hopefully) recently rebuilt. BUT, I also think a well used bike should go for a nice low price - otherwise I wouldn't buy it. [/QUOTE]
