Kinesis R2 ex-demo listing: identify the separate 54 cm bike and its stated condition

2026-11-08

The saved Kinesis R2 ex-demo listing is a separate offer for a 54 cm Black Gold bicycle. Its condition description and frame-only warranty wording belong to that specific record. They should not be copied into the standard R2 complete-bike listing or presented as terms covering every Kinesis bicycle.

Identify the exact Kinesis R2 ex-demo listing

The manufacturer titled the record “Kinesis R2 Black Gold 54cm Ex-Demo Bike”. Its catalogue handle identifies an MD ex-demo bike, and its option structure contains only Default Title. Unlike the standard R2 record, it does not offer the four Small-to-XLarge configuration choices.

The seller's text says this bicycle had been lent for a demonstration once. That is the manufacturer's description of this particular offer, not an inspection performed here. Its historical existence does not establish that the bicycle remains available or that another used R2 has the same history.

Keep the disclosed marks attached to that bicycle

The description identifies signs of use around the tyres and drivetrain, including crank scuffs. It also names a large head-tube scuff, smaller top-tube and non-drive-side seatstay scratches, chips on both chainstays and scratches on the stem.

These are specific disclosures to retain when comparing the record with an actual quotation. The seller's broader condition description does not replace an inspection or establish the present state of that bicycle. Nor does the list prove that an unrelated R2 has any of the same marks.

Read the offer's warranty wording in its narrow scope

The saved ex-demo body states five years of warranty for the frame only and excludes components and paint or finish from that stated warranty. Record that as wording attached to this historical offer. This guide does not interpret statutory rights, extend those terms to a new bicycle or determine coverage for a current purchase.

If discussing an actual ex-demo offer, obtain its current written condition and warranty description from the seller. The standard Black Gold R2 listing is the related complete-bike reference; it has a different record and configuration structure. The Kinesis directory supplies brand context without merging the two offers.

For wider model context, read the Kinesis range introduction.

Unidentified black road bicycle with drop handlebars, external cable loops, frame, rigid fork, wheels and rear derailleur; different from an identified Kinesis build. — A different road bicycle provides listing-identity context only; this does not identify the R2 ex-demo item or establish its condition, damage or warranty coverage.
