beanbag Geschrieben 6. März 2007 Teilen Geschrieben 6. März 2007 Hello all I have a friend looking to get a bike for the city (hybrid or citybike), however I've not got much of any idea about this. I suggested the usual big names to him as I don't know the dedicated brands for this kind of bike however recently he's been recommended a Diamant. Has anyone heard of this brand before? http://www.diamant-rad.de/ The specific bike that he likes is the Diamant Elan Deluxe. It seems to have a good component spec but is the bike any good. It's apparently quite pricey. If it's no good, what else can anyone recommend? Thanks!!!! BB (Nick) Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Auf anderen Seiten teilen Mehr Optionen zum Teilen...
Joey Geschrieben 6. März 2007 Teilen Geschrieben 6. März 2007 diamant is one of the oldest (if not the oldest one) bike brands in germany (Hartmannsdorf/Chemnitz). They're making City/Trekking/Fitness bikes at reasonable value for the buck. If your friend likes the look of the Elan, he should buy it. The frame has outside butted top and down tube, however it is not very light (around 1900 grams), but has a nice shape (integrated kickstand mount - slim chain & seat stays - nice fender bridge).

beanbag Geschrieben 6. März 2007 Autor Teilen Geschrieben 6. März 2007 Hi Joey, Thanks for the feedback. I think you've convinced him. At €750, the price isn't too bad plus like I said the spec looks pretty good. In fact, I've seen a bike on there that I quite like myself for around the town. I'm struggling with my knackered Tai-Fun heap of crap! Talking about day-to-day bikes....how do people rate the Specialized Globe IG8? Apart from the obvious lack of gears, it looks like a cool bike albeit very expensive..... Cheers, BB Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Auf anderen Seiten teilen Mehr Optionen zum Teilen...
