Bike conditions

Bike conditions on Bikeroom.

Four categories

What each condition means.

When you buy a bike online, the condition matters as much as the geometry or the groupset. On Bikeroom every bike falls into a clear category, so you know what you are getting before it shows up at your door.

Condition 01

New

As close as it gets to buying from the manufacturer

A New bike on Bikeroom is in the same condition you would expect from a brand or official distributor. For most riders this is the safest choice if you want zero unknowns and no prior use.

  • Never ridden
  • No cosmetic or mechanical wear
  • Standard factory specification
Condition 02

Pro-Owned

Previously ridden by World Tour riders

Pro-Owned bikes were owned and used by professional riders from World Tour teams. They have seen real racing or training, and that is part of their appeal.

  • Authentic team-used bikes
  • Condition depends on use, season and rider
  • Verified and certified by Bikeroom mechanics
Condition 03

Pre-Owned

Used by another rider, certified by Bikeroom

Pre-Owned bikes have been ridden before, so small cosmetic marks are normal. What matters is that they are visible in the product images and verified in person.

  • Previously owned by a private rider
  • Any defects are documented
  • Verified and certified by Bikeroom mechanics
Condition 04

Showroom

New bikes with specific, non-standard setups

Showroom bikes come directly from manufacturers. They are premium bikes used in the showrooms of major companies or in top photo shoots, which have never touched the road or have only a few kilometres on them.

  • Never ridden
  • Often feature specific wheels or drivetrains
  • Verified and certified by Bikeroom mechanics
  • Guaranteed by the manufacturer
