diamond back peak

Pros:	Cheap
Cons:	Rear derailleur is very bad (it''s 9 USD and broke after 2 weeks of light city riding), the front fork is terrible, plastic pedals are not great, seat is the wrong contour (doesn''t fit anyone correctly), rims bend easily, brakes are just ok, front derailleur is bad too, and most importantly: the front tire hits your feet when turning. Horrible design for a "mountain bike". I''ve taken this bike on novice to intermediate trails and I could NOT do switchbacks - I''d hit my front tire and fly off the bike.
Time Used:	More than 2 years
Comments:	Bottom line: good bike for city usage, but the frame itself is flawed; you will find your feet hitting the front tire as if it was a 29''er. The components you get with it are expected for given price range.
Rating:
Recommendation:	No I would not recommend it to a friend
