Diamondback Trace Dual Sport Bike - 700c Wheels

Comments about Diamondback Trace Dual Sport Bike - 700c Wheels:

So let me begin with this. I am starting out new in the biking world. I started looking for a good bike for the money I wanted to spend. I was looking at all the local shops because everybody kept saying to stay away from the "BIG BOX STORES". So after looking at bikes for the cheapest for a newbie. I was getting price quotes from 800 to a 1000.
I kept telling the people helping me all I need is something durable to get some excersise and commute in. But high prices kept rolling in, So I decided to go to the "BIG BOX STORE" I was helped right on que. So after looking around and doing some test rides I found the bike I like. It was well priced plus they had the free shipping and the 20% off anything over $99.00. So even better for me. I got it shipped and it took 6 days to get here. I took it down to the nearest store and they assembled it within a day. When I first got it the leankage was a little off but after a little adjusting from them it was perfect. I'm 5'8 215 big into lifting weights and excersise and was looking for a diffrent way to get some cardio cause I hate running. The bike holds up grest to me standing pushing hard down on the bike while going up hills. Most gesrs starts skipping gears when doing that. This bike is bulit strong for commute or a causal ride or even a little off trail riding. Sorry for the long post on this but I like to read indebt reviews to see what im getting into. Thanks for reading hope I helped.
