Very new, would love advice.
Hi there, I have a Diamondback Wildwood Deluxe '03, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to it to make fast that would be less than 100 dollars?

yes, remove that 100 dollars from your billfold and burn it.. this will save precious grams and make you faster.

homebrew lyposuction works nicely. Saves a few more grams than the above method.

It's not the bike, it's the rider. Now go ride!
Tho' you could add nitrous, but that gets spendy.

you need to be more specific about the kind of riding you do, the type of terrain you ride on, and what you think is slowing you down.

No. Money will not help.
Pedal faster, use the brakes less.
Actually... now that I think about it. Upgrade to clipless pedals and shoes. That can help.
