Speed Shop Approved
Every used bike from Saddleback gets the full VIP treatment in our Speed Shop. Our skilled mechanics tear it down, check everything, replace what needs replacing and dial it in so it's ready to ride. You also get two years of warranty, because we stand by our products and work.
Ex-Demo
As part of our demo program, these bikes have seen a few rides – to prove their excellent performance. Each one's been fully serviced and brought back to peak shape by our Speed Shop mechanics. Expect a few scuffs from real-world use (check the pics), but mechanically, they’re dialled and ready for more.
These bikes don't hang around. If you see “the one,” don't sleep on it, as once they are gone, they're gone.
Multipoint Inspection
We’re riders, so we know what matters when you’re in the saddle. Our Speed Shop mechanics have given your bike a full, pro-level check to ensure it’s dialled in and ready to go. It’s been inspected for damage, with none having been identified. The wheelset has been checked for trueness and tension, while the bearings and tyre tubes have been inspected.
When it comes to the drivetrain, this has been inspected for wear, and the mech alignment has been checked, while the gears have been indexed. The brake calliper alignment has been checked, to ensure you can stop on a button.
The headset, bottom bracket and crank axle have all been cleaned and greased, so you can expect no creaks. The seat post has been fibregripped, so that it stays in place, and every bolt has been torqued to spec, ready to go.
