2010 Mission 2

Took some photos the day I got the bike from Giantnerd about two months ago.

Everything is stock except I've since put on Oury lock-on grips and Sram X9 shifters. The wheels are pretty cheap so I'm going to get new ones soon. This is my first full suspension and it's good so far.

selling my like-new diamondback coil ss

I loved the disk brakes on this bike. It was replacing a similar one that was stolen from me when I purchased it, a few years back, but I haven't used it. It's a shame for it to collect dust and I want to get a hybrid more inline with the way I ride now. I've ridden it about 4 times and that's criminal! It was a little over $850 new and it's still basically new, just not the recent model.

It needs to go to someone who will use it :thumbsup: Not a scratch on it-just a little dust.

Anyone interested or know anyone who might be?

Here is my Response Sport, this is my everyday trail bike. few upgrades here and there, needs a new fork and wheels!

Pricepoint has a killer deal on 2011 Hayes Stroker Trail brakes, so this hardtail is getting them:thumbsup:

If anyone wants the old tektro mechanical disk brakes off this bike they can have them if they pay for shipping!

Looks like it's a 2003 Topanga Comp Disc

Here's a link to specs (appear to be the same): BikePedia - 2003 diamondback Topanga Comp Disc Complete Bicycle

Price is hard to say - $200 is a fairly big percentage of the original $549 price considering it's eight or nine years old. That being said, it may not be a bad deal for an LX-level bike with mechanical discs if it's in really good condition.

1) Make sure the frame doesn't have cracks or major dents. Cracks are usually spotted around the welded joints.

2) Make sure the fork is working well (smooth operation through full travel, adjustments work and feel like that make a difference, etc). Note: The fork is the most outdated item on that bike, but is likely fine for entry-level cross country riding. If you have to replace the fork, though, you'll spend more than the price of the bike if new, or you'll need to do some searching for a good, used one.

3) Make sure the hubs, bottom bracket and headset are smooth and free of play and that the wheels are reasonably true (no large hops/jumps/rim dents/broken spokes).

4) Very important - make sure the bike fits you! Search online for guidelines and make sure it feels good to you.

If you don't work on bikes and don't want to learn, you should seriously consider having a shop check it out. You'll pay a small fee for this, but it's worth it.

With all that done, I'd offer less - maybe $150, but, again, condition matters. If the owner has recently had it serviced and has a shop contact, that paperwork is worth a lot to you...

At $150 and with no recent evidence of work done, don't be surprised if you need some or all expendables: cables, brake pads, chain and cassette.

This is my $100 lady. 2010 Diamondback Sorrento Sport. Got her off of Craigslist from a guy who never rode her and let her sit in the garage for two years. She still had the price tags. She's all stock. The only thing I've done so far is take off the reflectors.

I don't plan on crazy upgrades. I'm just planning on getting new handle bars, seat post, saddle and peddles. Since she is my first, I plan to learn and exercise off of her. Then when I know more of what I want and what I'm doing I'll upgrade to something different (maybe).
