i cant take mongoose,and diamond back serously even if 5 of their riders win the worldcup podium,I WILL NEVER(and so will alot of people)EVER get around the fact that they make, shit bikes they sell at wal-mart,even if they dont make the bike and only put their name on it degrades them as a company...if santa cruz ,or Blk Mrkt put a bike on sale at wal mart i wouldnt buy them.
Basically what darkelement is saying is that he wont buy a bike because of a brand. What about quality? Theres much more to look into than the sticker on the downtube buddy. I think this bike is a bit different than the standard diamond back you see at wal-mart. Besides, this thing probably rips.
i bought my bike and im 15 so you know its different for everyone,so what if dimondback and mongoose sell there bikes at walmart the ones they sell are only there real cheep ones and usually bmx bikes,you dont see a pinn r hanging up down one of the isles of walmart do you?: no.it makes mongoose and dimondback better companys by them being able to sell some of there bikes in big brand supermarket's in my eyes it makes them better companys than say santacruz or iron horse by them selling there bikes in supermarkets and bike shops.in the end the'll be the ones getting more customers and more money.
what an ignorant comment.
diamondback did some home work. now lets see it in the U.S.
