Cycles are ideal hyper-local buys — if the frame is straight and brakes work, most other fixes are cheap.
Quick inspection
- Frame: look for cracks near welds and dents on the top tube.
- Wheels: spin each wheel — wobble suggests truing cost.
- Brakes: test front and rear; spongy levers may need cable or pad work.
Test ride
A two-minute ride in a safe open area beats ten photos. For geared bikes, shift through all gears under light pedal load.
