Date Reviewed: June 28, 2000

Strengths:    Good frame geometery with a quality steel ride.

Weaknesses:    The origanal components function well but are easally grown out of. The crank is to small (it's actally a hybrid componeant) and the rear derailer is low end moutain bike derailer. For a beginner/recreational rider this is a great bike, but if you are a serious rider you'll want to do some upgrading.

Bottom Line:

As purchased this bike is a great bumming around town kinda bike. The frame is solid and comfortable. After the upgrade to all Ultegra components this bike is an awsome racer/trainer. For the price of $375.00 I got a quality and upgradable bike that fits me like a gloove and flies on the road.

Strengths:
Inexpensive
Nice Paint
Nice componets for the price

Weaknesses:
Lame oversized seat.

Bottom Line:

I am new to this road biking thing. But I am starting to like it.
The Diamond back is a great starter bike for those wanting to get into road biking.
My LBS told me that to buy the componet stup alone would be $200. Not bad considering the whole bike cost me $440.
I did have to change the saddle. The stock one was as big as a log truck.
So far I love this bike.
