I did not list the bike as brand new to comply with Buycycle's guide. but the bike was only ridden once by my son and never rode it again, decided to do road bike instead, as long distance is what he enjoys. its impeccable, zero signs of use.The bike is fully functional, Fox Live Valve is fully functional as well. I just noticed one little mark on the frame (pictured) maybe from being next to my bike, hardly noticeable.
