GBC 26 point checklist

At The Green Bike Company our aim is that you can buy with confidence.

We've detailed below, the process every GBC bike goes through before it is delivered to a customer.

This is our 26 point check list. 

 

  • Previous owner verification - we will not purchase a bike without satisfactory proof of ownership.
  • Approximate mileage verification - an assessment of the original components enables us to make a qualified judgement on a machine's usage.
  • Full degrease and clean.
  • Any paintwork blemishes touched up using colour match and blended. We only touch up marks which add to the appearance of the bike. If a bike is being used, it will get minor blemishes/cable rubs or small scratches. If a bike doesn't have any marks it is not being used! 
  • Frameset - Fully checked for integrity.
  • Brake Cables Inner and Outer - Inspect and replace if necessary.
  • Bottom Bracket - Check for wear and replace if necessary.
  • Brake shoes - Inspect and change if necessary.
  • Headset - Remove and check/ replace if necessary.
  • Front mech - Check function of gears. Adjust and replace if necessary.
