make: Jamis model: Diablo year: 1992 color: black w/ yellow letters frame+fork: full chromoly steel. no cheap high tensile steel like dept store bikes eg: Huffy, Murray, etc. size: 18.5 inch frame. typical rider height is about 5'8" to 6'2". components: Shimano Deore DX + LX mix. 21 speeds. Above the bar thumb shifters. These high quality components are built to last. Asking $315, but highly negotiable, extras too. This bike has been used but never abused and always maintained. It is a great bike for someone who wants to take up trail riding or use as a commuter bike/campus bike. It is so much more than a brand new sub$400 bike. Entry level bikes like Specialized Hardrocks, Trek 800 series, Giant Iguana, GT Taleras, etc are not made for real riding. Their frames are not full chromoly, and their components are plasticy and not durable. Department store bikes are not safe to ride to begin with. I would prefer to sell to someone in the Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia area. Anyone interested, please e-mail for more information. Austin <austintx@wam.umd.edu>
