[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1415949, member: 257"] Bummer. Sadly these are the stories that make me shudder. I read of people asking other to "okay" their delaying or never doing recommended maintenance items. I see stories of riding until cords are showing on the tires. I read much more. Each and every time I cringe that someone else is going to inherit the POS they are creating. I can imagine that most of them fail to disclose each and every two-step-avoidance they've done along the way. It's also why I insist on seeing their detailed service folder. If it's not there or not reflecting receipts with date/mileage of each consumable, etc. I pass and let someone else deal with the mess that may or may not be there. It's a lesson I learned the hard way back when buying one of the first bikes I owned. I ended up spending the seemingly-good purchase price of the bike in repairing what was hidden by the seller. I then sold it for a loss but was damned if I was going to do the same thing to the next buyer. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
