What we check

  • When a private seller gives a frame number, we check it against a stolen-bike registry and the theft reports filed with us before the advert goes live.
  • If a frame number strongly matches a theft report, the advert cannot go live. A weaker match goes live with a warning to buyers while we review it.
  • Every message is checked for signs of a scam, such as asking you to pay before you collect or a link that hides where it goes. If a message shows one, you see a warning with it.

    2019 Giant Defy Advanced 2

    Up for sale is my 2019 Giant Defy Advanced 1 full carbon endurance road bike. I bought this bike brand new, and it has been stored exclusively indoors and meticulously cared for. Bought June 2019 and according to Strava it has done 4904 miles. Been serviced by Giant in Sheffield since purchased. It is an exceptionally comfortable, compliant bike built for long days in the saddle. A new bike purchase plus arthritic hip forces the sale, and it has only been ridden this year for a few short rides.   Condition Note:
The bike is in good running condition and shifts cleanly. Given the age and use of the bike, there are some small, normal cosmetic scuffs here and there (standard for a used road bike). The brakes work fine, though they are due for a quick, standard cable tightening/adjustment to bring the bite point closer to the bars.
