New with Tags is the highest of the five condition grades on WishThrift. At this grade bicycles and cycling gear are listed across the full range for the category, $13 to $1,617 (about £10 to £1,200), because nothing has been discounted for wear. Unridden, with the tyres unmarked and the transfers still filmed. A bike ridden round the block once is Like New.
Where the line falls
A bicycle wears as a system: the chain stretches first and then grinds the sprockets, bearings develop play, and alloy rims wear thin at the braking surface.
For comparison, one step down is Like New Bicycles and Cycling Gear.

Common questions
Has it actually been ridden?
Tyre moulding pips still on the tread, an unworn chain, and no scuffs on the pedals or the underside of the down tube.
