The bike has new stainless steel cables, new cable housings, new internal ball bearings, and new handlebar tape. All the components and the drivetrain were removed, deep-cleaned, and adjusted. The headset bearings were removed and those internal bearings were cleaned and regreased. The bottom bracket was removed and cleaned of the grit that usually accumulates there. The brake calipers, derailleurs, cranks, chainrings, and drivetrain were all disassembled and rebuilt. The wheelhub bearings were replaced and greased. Wheels were trued. The bike comes with the seat bag accessory that slips over the the seat and attaches to the frame. The last pic in the ad shows it.

Old grease, combined with dirt, will harden and damage the operation of the bearings. This will cause internal damage, and can make your bike dangerous(especially with the headset bearings which allow you to steer). If you're looking to buy any used bike, find out when the last time the bearings were overhauled (not a "tune-up"). If it has not been done in 5 yrs, I strongly recommend having it done.
