Frame

MANY Blades have been crashed and suffered frame damage. To check, grab the bars and turn them from side to side. This is best done sitting on the bike in a normal riding position. As you push the bars through their full range they should stop before your hand or thumb gets trapped between the tank and the bar. If they do get trapped then you could be looking at a crashed bike and the lock stops have broken off. If this is the case, look for other damage like dents in the frame. Be very, very wary of carbon frame protectors. These can hide a whole host of nasties. Always take them off and look underneath.
