Are Diamondbacks any good?
My first MTB back in the '90s was a Diamondback Sorento with an upgrade Rockshock that I bought from the LBS. So I guess that they were "good" back then.
But then I stared seeing the in Box Stores so I guess that they weren't so good any more.
Now I'm seeing them on the internet in the hands of "good" riders but still at Dicks. So.....
If I'm in the market for a Trek or Giant should I be looking at Diamondback too? And if so, what year did they stop sucking and get back to making good bikes?
I'm looking for a hardtail, Currently considering a Marlin 7 or a Talon 1
and how come Cannonale fell off the radar? Those were sick bikes back "in the day".
