Browsing and buying new bikes can be exciting, but one thing you’re pretty much guaranteed not to find there is mystery. Step into a new bike dealership, and while you may not personally know everything there is to know about every new bike on the show floor, they’re all known quantities to someone. People at the dealership can hopefully tell you more. You can also look things up on your own to answer questions you come up with after you’ve left. Simple, right?
The same thing can’t be said of used bikes. Sure, depending on the bike, you might be able to find out some basic facts about features of the bike when it originally left the factory.
