I have a chance to pick up a diamondback xr4 for 300 bucks. I cant find much info on the model apart from the extremely questionable reviews on mtbr.com (looks like alot of astro turf). All I can find is its specs which look pretty good to me and its msrp which is like 1500 bucks. The bike is in good shape only scratches. Lemme know what you think. I know diamondbacks aren't admired by alot of people but this seems like a good deal to me. here are the specs off of bikepeida http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2000&Brand=Diamondback&Model=XR-4&Type=bike

Looks decent, but it is a few years old.

I dont know how plentiful used bikes are in your area, but I would keep looking. Not that its a bad bike, but I think there are better bikes out there for a similar price.
