Agreed. The thing is I (I) don't really need a bike ;-) but I am now looking for something that would fit well with my significant other as well as something that could do a double duty for me or my kids with the emphasis that it would be fitted and it would have the looks that she approves. :-)
I'm not only looking at carbon bikes, however, I am also eyeing some older frames on craigslist or ebay that would fit the bill. This Diamondback is just one of the considerations.

If this is what you are looking for, worth putting on the list. If your LBS doesn't carry the Diamondback, they probably carry something similar.
