Hi, I'm new 🙂
It's been a while since I've done any sort of mountain biking. I've been out of the loop for quite some time so I've tried to do as much research as I could to try and narrow it down to at least a solid bike that I can start off with without having to replace or upgrade the stock components right off the bat. I'm looking for a step above entry level so I can get back into it, but as of now I'm not too worried about the 1K and upwards bikes.
So I was looking at Diamondback's 2006 catalogue and I found a model that looked pretty solid, but it's hard to find reviews for them.
Diamondback Response Comp:
- Hardtail aluminum frame
- Frame w/ "Strongbox" top & down tube (whatever that is..)
- Marsocchi MZ-3 120mm fork
- Sun Ditchwitch double wall rims
- Avid BB5 Mechanical Disc Breaks w/ Avid FR5 levers
- SRAM x.7 9-speed trigger shifters
- SRAM SX-5 rear derailluer & x-gen front derallieur
What do you think?
