Overall good value if you are willing to tinker
Overall good value. Frame is good, components are good. Gearing is nice and all. I do have one major problem with it though. Safety! Brake is marginal at best. It has STI shifter and V brake! As I found out later, my kid almost couldn't stop in time which could have been disastrous... Diamondback really should be putting proper brake on this bike for the matching lever. For those of you who is more mechanically inclined you can put probem solvers travel agent to increase pull from brake which is what I did. (basically makes brake move in twice faster)
