I'm looking for some advice on buying a used bike. It's a 2005 Specialized S-Works; the person at the bike shop thought it was an E5. They're selling it for a $1000. Pedals might be included; I'll have to check. I'm planning on test riding in the next few days.
It was used for one season by a local pro and it has brand new components and wheels. I was told the frame has a few small scratches, but nothing major (I think it has a carbon and aluminum frame).

I know that how a bike fits is the most important thing, but what else should I look for?
Thanks for your help.
