We all have different views on this but I take pride in what I'm doing and would never sell a bike without fully cleaning, adjusting and tuning. If I wouldn't ride it myself or let my kids ride it, it wouldn't leave the garage. It gives me great pleasure when I sell a bike knowing the new owner is not going to have some problem that would come back on me because I left some worn out, hardened brake pads or damaged cables on I bike they bought from me in good faith, which is what most people do; they aren't mechanics or very experienced with bikes so they are putting some degree of trust in me which I try my best to validate.
