"FOR SALE: Still under guarantee / warranty"... Be aware of ads such as these, no matter how new the bicycle or bicycle part or accessory is, the original guarantee is intended for the original purchaser ONLY. Guarantees and warranties cannot be transferred unless under written agreement and acceptance of the manufacturer or licensed distributor that they will transfer the guarantee or warranty over to you. If you purchase a product second hand under such pretense you could be in for a world of disappointment when the company turns you away. Attempting to make a guarantee / warranty claim if you are the second owner is a fraudulent action and can see you being charged as a criminal. Avoid bike shops that will help you "sneak" in such a claim as they are rotten to the core and this is a perfect representation of how they handle their business. Always approach the company directly or have a bike shop do it for you and obtain written consent from the manufacturer or licensed distributor.
