The paint may have a scratch or two, but otherwise it looks very close to new. It even has the original stickers on it (see pics). The seat is a replacement as I could not find the original one, but most riders use their own saddle anyway. No pedals, of course.
The color looks black, but it is actually a very, very, very dark purple metal flake. It was hard to show in a photo, but I attempted to do so. It is stunning in person. It is absolutely suitable to give as a gift.
