Questions & Answers about fureemusaizu to norigokochi o kakuninshita sueni, oritatamijitensha wa erabanakatta.

Why is there only one を after フレームサイズと乗り心地?

Because フレームサイズと乗り心地 is one combined noun phrase: "frame size and ride comfort."
The particle と links the two nouns, and then を marks the whole list as the object of 確認した.

So this part works like:

フレームサイズと乗り心地を確認した
checked the frame size and the ride comfort

This is very natural in Japanese. You do not need to say フレームサイズを乗り心地を.

What does 末に mean here?

末に means something like:

after ...
as a result of ...
in the end, after going through ...

In this sentence, 確認した末に does not just mean a simple sequence like "after checking."
It adds the nuance that the speaker went through some process of checking or consideration, and then reached a final conclusion.

So:

確認した末に = after checking and considering things, in the end
not just a neutral "checked, then..."

How is 確認した末に different from 確認して?
