Right, but years ago Diamondback's reputation took a significant hit when they started selling cheap bikes aimed for big-box stores. These days I'm sure their higher end bikes are peachy, but they have yet to overcome that hit.
In contrast, Canyon's reputation seems on par with other high-end brands, with the only real distinction being the cost savings associated with selling direct.
BikesDirect, really? I'd say that the only thing Canyon has in common with BikesDirect is direct-to-consumer sales.
