Welcome to the forum :thumb:

The best advice I can give you for when you pick the bike up is: keep your back straight, try and take it's weight under your elbows and use your legs to lift it. 😊

Welcome to the forum

I can't give you much more than what you would normally check as my bikes tend to be a bit newer, other than make sure the shaft is in good nick, the dealer should be able to show you how, if they can't, ask them how they can sell it to you !
