Every frame is inspected before it's rebuilt.
The biggest fear buying a secondhand frame is what you can't see in the photos. Here's exactly what happens to every frame before it becomes your bike.
Our process, step by step
Every listing is checked before we buy
Before we even agree to buy a frame, we check the photos for cracks, welds, or signs of previous repairs, and confirm the hub size, fork, and shock are correct for the model.
We request close-up proof
We usually ask the seller for close-up photos of the frame number, the underside of the frame, the rear triangle, the fork, the shock, and the drivetrain. These are the exact spots hidden damage shows up.
Signed proof of purchase, every time
Every frame we buy comes with a signed purchase document: frame number, seller details, and agreed condition. If a frame was misrepresented, it goes straight back to the seller. No exceptions.
Bearings and suspension, checked every time
Every frame that comes in gets its bearings checked and its suspension inspected. We replace or service what's actually needed, not as a blanket upsell tacked onto every build.
Assembled with the right components for your build
Once the frame checks out, it's professionally assembled, usually with a mix of new and inspected secondhand components, sometimes fully new, depending on the build. Ready to ride, not a mystery secondhand purchase.

Common questions
Is Steez on Wheels a legit company?
Yes, we're a registered Dutch business (KvK 99791617) based in Veldhoven. Every bike we sell is documented from purchase through rebuild, and you can reach us directly with any question before or after you buy.
How do you actually check for hidden frame damage?
We check listing photos for cracks and welds before buying, then usually require close-up photos of the frame number, underside, rear triangle, fork, and shock. Every frame is documented with a signed condition report before it enters our workshop.
What if something's wrong with my build after I buy it?
Contact us directly. Every build is documented from the frame's original purchase through final assembly, so we can trace and resolve issues quickly.
Why is a complete build cheaper than buying new parts separately?
Our complete bikes mix new and inspected secondhand parts, sometimes a new frame with secondhand components, sometimes a secondhand frame with a mix of secondhand and new parts. That mix is what keeps the price down without cutting corners on reliability.
