Submitted by Chris a Commuter from Olympia, WA

Date Reviewed: June 4, 2001

Strengths:    Comfortable ride, inexpensive

Weaknesses:    I used this bike as a commute bike, with some recreational rides on weekends. Strictly road riding, asphalt and concrete, no off road. The other day, while riding on a flat , unblemished asphalt trail, the front fork severely bent, sending me flying over the handlebars. I landed on my chin, sprained my wrist and jaw, and required 5 stitches.

Needless to say, I believe there is a manufacturing defect in the fork (Diamondback fork, no suspension). I think this deathtrap should be recalled, and have already returned it to the dealer.

Buyer beware! This seemed like a good buy and rode well for the first three months (took it in twice for regular tune-ups) before the fork gave out with no warning. Had I been on a road instead of a bike trail, I probably would have been mutilated by a car.

Bottom Line:

This deathtrap is a piece of sh*t. Don't buy it.

Strengths:    Price, color, seat, components

Weaknesses:    Fruity curvey frame

Bottom Line:

I bought this bike to commute and to ride to the store or cruise around on over the weekends. So far it has worked out great. I have def. gotten my moneys worth out of it. I brougth it back to the bikeshop for it's one month free tune up, and it has been working great every since. If your looking for an inexpensive bike to commute on, check out the diamondback line.
