Alright well i decided to get the Diamondback sherman. it looks like a good bike. whats everyones problem with them. everyones saying theyre too heavy, but even if ur riding a heavy bike, the more u ride it the lighter and lighter its going to feel. then people are complaining about the brakes, i havent found a stock bike with good brakes yet.

for christmas i probably going to put on an :
-S&M Pitchfork
-S&M Bars (havent decided which yet)
-S&M Redneck Lite
-Oddysey 41 Thermal cranks
-Odyssey Evolver Brakes
-Odyssey gyro (dont know the name off hand)
-Odyssey monolever medium
-odyssey cables
-Maxxis Maxx Daddies all around
*no im not spoiled, i just have a huge family and i will be chipping in for a lot of it with my own money.

will i have a problem with the bike still after these parts are swapped.

o and this is the link to the bike incase you want to see it

Don't forget to replace the spoke nipples.

the pitchfork is probably the strongest, but the odyssey also has a warranty, and it's lighter

Why not just get a better bike in the first place? And don't forget the carbon fibre headset spacers.

Diamondback bikes suck, they are made by raliegh, they are heavey, they all have the same frame and all have rubbish brakes. 3 of my friends have got them and they all fell apart on them after a couple of months!!
DONT BUY ONE!

im just going to get my nyquist up and running again. come to find out the bike the bike shop my dad tells me to go to doesnt no what theyre doing. another shop told me and my dad this. i thought this but he didnt believe, made me want to rub in a "i told ya so" but i didnt (he hates being wrong).

but i gettina bunch of new parts, some parts fixed, and the work done by a better mechanic.
