Can't you do both? Prep the new test bike as you would for any bike in your
stable but include all the factory assembly fails. I'm not even sure how much
of that information would be fair to share. Of course some brands' bikes come
out of the box in great shape, nearly ready to ride. But there are plenty that
need a ton of work to become showroom-ready - but how often do bike shops
share this information with the consumer?
