Hi im considering buying this bike http://www.diamondback.co.uk/bikedetails.aspx?ID=4759
but my local bikeshop is offering it for £150 as its ex display and has a slight scratch which i could easy touch up.
Its the same as the spec on that link ive given except it has Suntour XCR forks which ive read are better than the RST Gila Pro.
I like the bike but am wondering if anyone has one or has riden one, its has 24 gears, is this bad for riding around forests/ not too hard downhill and doing some basic jumps?.
I could easily get some marzocchi dirt jumpers for about £100 to really make it decent i think.
