I always ask for the seller's history with the bike (ala Antiques Roadshow). Their answer might throw up some red flags. Also, in my personal experience, any time I hear "I'm selling it for my cousin", that's my cue to walk away.. all sorts of spidey sense tingling there.Sometimes I get a great answer from the seller, like 'it was in the family for decades', 'my brother rode it' , "brought it over from a foreign country", etc. I like back stories, but if they go on and on, be wary. This will tell you how much of the bike price is *nostalgia* vs *Bicycle*. You are buying a bicycle, they are selling memories
