2019 Kestrel Talon X 105 Road Bike 55cm Carbon

Description

The bicycles we sell are best described as "Project Bikes" that have one or more of the following issues:
- frame damage
- defective and/or worn-out parts
- parts that are missing
We don't perform any maintenance or repair work on the bicycles in our inventory. At a minimum, a bicycle purchased from us will need to be professionally assembled and inspected for safe operation. Most will also need extensive service work.
CONDITION
Our visual inspection of this bicycle was focused mainly on the structural integrity of the frame and fork, with less effort devoted to inspection of the components (cockpit, drivetrain, wheels).
Damage that
exceeds
the following common conditions is described further down in this section:
- light scratches and small dings
- minor damage to finish due to cable, heel, and chain rub
- what might be typical for a bike of this type and/or age (e.g. crank arm damage from curb and/or rock strikes, etc.)
Frame/Fork
We found damage in the following location(s):
- Carbon damage at seat post & seat tube. (see photos 3-8), you can see vertical cracking at back of seat tube, also what looks to be a small crack on the side.
- Light to moderate scratches on chainstays, seatstays, & seat tube.
- Light scratches on top tube & down tube.
- Moderate scratches on back of fork & bottom of head tube.
- Missing frame plug and bottom bracket cover (underneath) is included.
It's the buyer's sole responsibility, ideally in consultation with a carbon repair expert, to determine whether or not any area of carbon damage identified in this listing actually needs to be repaired in order for this bicycle to be considered safe to ride, specifically with respect to the structural integrity of the frame and fork. For expert inspection and repair of damaged carbon, we recommend Broken Carbon in Boulder, CO.
Other than the damage noted above, frame/fork in xxx condition.
Cockpit (tape/handlebar/stem/
seatpost/
saddle)
- Bar tape is missing.
- Scratches on brake levers.
- Otherwise, cockpit in good condition.
Drivetrain (controls/brakes/derailleurs/crankset/cassette/chain)
- Crank is missing.
- Bottom bracket is for 24mm Shimano spindle.
- Missing gear cables, rear brake is not hooked up.
- Shifters do appear to index well but can not test further due to no cables.
- Non drive side bottom bracket bearings is rough.
Wheelset
- Rear hub bearings are rough.

With regard to the current state of tune and continued serviceability of the components (cockpit, drivetrain, wheels), assume the following:
- We have not checked the torque values of bolts and other fasteners on this bicycle, and it's certainly possible that some, and maybe even all, of these fasteners are not tightened to the manufacturers' recommended torque specifications, and, in fact, might actually be loose (e.g. loose enough to cause a component or small part to move unexpectedly or fall off, or otherwise cause a safety hazard and risk of personal injury or death).
- We have not checked the condition or adjustment of bearings (headset, bottom bracket, derailleur pulley, hub, freehub), and some or all might need to be adjusted or replaced.
- We have not checked the operation of drivetrain control components (shifters, brakes, derailleurs), and some or all might need to be adjusted. In the case of bikes with hydraulic brakes, the front and/or rear brake systems might need to be bled.
- We have not evaluated the condition and remaining service life of drivetrain wear components (brake pads, disc brake rotors, cables/housing, chainrings, cassette, chain), and some or all might need to be replaced.
- In the case of bikes with disc brakes, we have not checked the alignment of the rotors, and one or both might need to be trued.
- We have not checked the alignment of the wheels, and one or both might need to be trued and/or dished.
- We have not evaluated the condition of the tires or tubes, and some or all might need to be replaced. In the case of bikes with tubeless compatible rims, we have not checked to see if tubeless tape and/or tubeless valve stems are installed. In the case of bikes with tubular tires, we have not evaluated the age or condition of the tubular glue, and it's prudent to assume that the tires need to be re-glued in order achieve a safe and reliable adhesion between tires and rims.
