Don't you think it's funny that all bikes sold on ebay have only been ridden a few miles?

Amazing coincidence or total BS?

Anyways... is there any part of a bike that can give away it's TRUE mileage - preferably visual tell tale signs that don't mean having to dismantle anything.

Failing that, what can be found if slight dismantling is an option?

Chain wear / drivetrain is usually quite good, unless the seller freewheels everywhere..

If the frame has not been protected from cable rub around the headtube this is a good indication of use.
