Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I live on the North Side of Chicago, about a mile away from Wrigley Field and about a mile and a half from Lake Michigan. I was looking for a bike to get around, and I decided I was going to get a cruiser style.
I saw alot of cruisers online, but quality cruiser bikes were rather expensive. So, when I found a DiamondBack for under $300, I thought, "there must be something "cheap" about it.
While it does have a one - piece crank, foot brake and no gears, this is the best bike your money can buy for under $300.
First of all, I was born in '78. This bike has logos that read '78 on the chainguard and the wheel guards (not pictured, but it ships with them and they look slick). Matte Black is my favorite color also, so I was immediattely drawn to this bike. Amazon free shipping is available and with that, I was sold.
When the bike arrived, it was pretty much assembled. The only parts I had to put on were the handlebars, the front tire, the seat and the pedals (which was the only hassle, YOU MUST PUT THE PEDALS ON CORRECTLY OR YOU WILL RUIN THE CRANK).
After about a half hour of assembly, I took this bike outside and rode around the city, up by Wrigley Field and then through Lakeview. It rides like a dream and it's like sitting on a cloud. The seat is GREAT. Every bump on our poorly maintained city streets is answered with the suspension of this bikes seat.
The bike looks pretty good too. The whitewalls really stand out (I dread having to clean them every week though). The Matte Black paintjob is very classy.
If you're going to buy this, I recommend buying the Greenfield KS2SB Kickstand With Retro Kit Black
it matches perfectly and since the bike does not have a kickstand, this thing seems like it was made for this bike. It's easy to attach and it works great.
Every day I after I get off work from the Fire Station, I can't wait to hop on this thing and explore the parts of the city I have not seen, and going down to the Lakefront is on top of my list for tommorrow. This bike turns heads also, so invest in a good lock too.
This bike was made for me, in fact, I've got it inside my apt. and I can't stop looking away from the computer screen while typing this to look over at it. If it sounds like something you might like, you will......... Buy it.

Super simple and simply bitching. This Hi-Ten Remington Steel frame and fork offer up an amazingly comfortable ride with a look that boasts of simplicity. This single speed cruiser screams attitude while allowing the coolest to cruise in style.
