No no, I want to hear whatever you guys have to say good or bad. Tell the truth I wasn't sold on diamondback/raleigh's either.. I wanted justifications one way or other ,along with my own legwork so I won't feel like I'm being a judgemental snobbish sonofab...

I hope the local LBS is understanding when I show up with a new ride that isn't from his shop, needing some work.

I'm slowly but surely gatheirng all the tools and buying a couple manuals, I'm gonna have to be my own LBS out of need, methinks.
