Anyone familiar w/ Diamond Back Podium 3
Hello all
I am in the market for a my first road bike and I would like to stay around (or under) $1,000. Earlier this evening I was killing time at Dick's when I noticed that they had an 09' Podium 3 on clearance for $849.99. Does anyone have any experience with the bike in comparison with a Specialized Allez Double? Is the Podium 3 a good bike? Is the price fitting for the product? I know this may be very broad but I'm about to start googling reviews shortly. Thanks.

Check out my post in this thread: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...egra-899/page2
I've had the bike for a full year and probably have put about 2000 miles on it. It's still going strong. The skipping is gone and it's tuned pretty well. I had to true the wheel last week, but other that it hasn't required much maintenance beyond the initial tune-up.
I've never used the Specialized bike so I can't comment on that.
