diamondback mission
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Anyone heard or know (first hand or second hand) anything good or bad about the diamondback mission models?
Thinking of getting one for my next bike but wanna hear a bit about them.

I got the mission 3 late last year, they were on sale and seemed to have all the right bits that matched the asking price when compared to the other bikes I looked at, after all they are just a frame with a collection of other vendors bits that you can easily check prices on to work out value.
my comments
solid bike, although perhaps a little heavy.
I like the front axle release mechanism.
I've only broken a chain so far.
If I had my choice again, I think that I'd spend a little more time researching frame geometry.. perhaps that's got something to do with the amount of time I've been OTB? or perhaps its just a combination newbie stupidity, bad technique, lack of speed and frame geometry
cheers
