 245  |  Subject: Diamondback brand road bikes?So the company I work for has just released an updated set of "company perks", which include 40% off Diamondback products, including bikes. I see that they're probably not a big player in the triathlon world, but with that kind of a discount, should I take a look? I'd definitely go to a local bike shop and test ride on, just to be safe, but do they have the quality of the bigger brands such as Specialized and such? |

Expert 2373  Floriduh | Subject: RE: Diamondback brand road bikes? From what I've seen they are OK, a definite step up from what you get at wallyworld. But don't think you're going to get a Cervelo for that kind of price - nowhere near that quality. An online tri-club i subscribe to also has 40% off for DB bikes. |

Diamondback has a number of pros riding their bikes. At 40% off it would certainly be worth a VERY close look. |

Pro 5892 , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Diamondback brand road bikes? Diamondback really came back to the high end market a few years ago. Before then, they concentrated on mid market and lower price market. At 40% off, you can get a really nice bike for very reasonable money. For road bikes, look at the Podium Vitesse. A really solid build at a very reasonable price (and with your 40% off it's a steal!) For tri bikes, look no further than the Andean. Funky looking, but it's built for pure speed. |

I would have loved the extra $300 if I had a 40% discount off of the 2017 pricing (lowered $500 from 2016). Not sure about the RB's but in the one day of having the Haanjo Carbon Comp and riding it around I couldn't be more pleased. Note the frame sizing if you go the DB route. The Haanjo Medium is listed as a 53cm and was stated to be for up to 5'9". But more I looked at the stand over height and the top tube length the M ended up a perfect fit for me at 5'10 and a longish torso. |

I would, even if I were limited to buying two bikes! |
