My big concern is alloy handle bars. That's one of the few components I won't buy second hand. Back in the day, before carbon they were getting very light and failed regularly (they're better now).
Seatposts for me. Al and/or Ti regardless. I'm kind of a skinny arsed guy and I try to be gentile on my parts and the bike parts. I'm on my third one for my Yeti - thank gawd none were broken in the "moment" so there were no ER trips. That could get horrifying...
