Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Diadora road bikes

Hello all,

The other day I was at my local bike shop, and found out that they carry Diadora road bikes, I was a bit surprised since I didn't know they made bikes. They are decently priced for their specs compared to other big names.
What do you guys think about Diadora bikes? Does anyone own a diadora, or anyone has an experience with them?

Thanks

I like my decent enough. Got some cocky ones with pink bottoms and neon yellow accents on the sides. I don't trust the alignment marks on the bottom of the sole, however. Seems like they don't line up perfectly.

Probably. The price seems right for a first road bike, and it doesn't hurt that it is built with 105 groupset.
