NIB has its appeal, but even if you take it out and assemble, it is still NOS. I would recommend doing so as any hidden damage will be revealed. I know this from personal experience. I bought a NOS, NIB bike and upon receipt, found damage to the seat tube and stays. Not significant, but if it had been any other bike, I would have returned it. As it is, I still have it.
