Bikes
Mountain, road, and e-bikes,
checked before you pay.
The frame serial matches. The components check out. It rides like it should — before you send a stranger real money for a bike you've only seen on Pinkbike.
What gets checked
Every verification includes
✓Frame serial number photographed, typically under the bottom bracket
✓Component match confirmed — groupset, fork, wheels vs. listing
✓Full condition photo set — frame, drivetrain, welds and joints
✓Basic ride check performed where verification includes it
✓Seller ID confirmed against name on any ownership documentation
✓Item confirmed present at the stated location
Where it matters most

Frame Serial Numbers
A filed-off or illegible serial is a real red flag for a stolen or misrepresented bike. We document exactly what's there.
Component Swaps
Sellers sometimes list a bike with different (often lower-value) components than photographed. We confirm what's actually on the bike.
Proof of Ownership
Registration through services like Bike Index, or a receipt, adds real confidence. We document whatever the seller actually has.
