Timeline for I purchased a "new" bike from my local bike shop that is five years old--should they have disclosed this?

It's not about getting money or whatever, but about making sure whether things that could rot in 5 years of non-use are new (which is probably only the tires, anyways)? | |

| Jan 3, 2018 at 17:38 | comment | added | user_1818839 | The only thing I would consider asking for would be new tyres (unless they already fitted new before selling) though I wouldn't expect much degradation in only 5 years. | |
