DBR Podium Pro
Has anyone here had any experience with these bikes? A mate of mine is looking at getting one second hand. I don't know too much about it except it is a couple of years old, has under 500km on the clock, is full carbon, with full Ultegra. Sounds nice, but I know nothing about the brand.

hi moo i cant comment with a great deal of knowledge on the bike but the advice i was given on 2nd hand carbon bikes was
check the frame and running gear for any signs of any damage or touched up paintwork or hairline fractures, what may appear insignificant on the outside could be a major problem on the inside.

I can't see a 'Podium Pro' in the current Diamondback catalogue Moo, but I'm pretty sure that there's one in the club. I will keep an eye out for it on Sunday.
I'm pretty sure that I saw a review of a dbr in a magazine last year, but I can't get to my collection until tomorrow. A quick goggle didn't turn one up.
If the bike passes a sensible inspection and a decent test ride, then it comes down to price (and bling!).

It was in the US 'Bicycling' magazine from May last year (p. 92 for those of you playing at home). Unfortunately it was a Podium 3 (an alloy frame with carbon rear stays and compact cranks), not the Pro. The review focussed on its value for money, with the only quibble being the reviewers wish that dbr had stuck with 105 gear throughout (rather than using Tektro brakes so that they could squeeze in an Ultegra rear derailleur).LuckyPierre wrote:I'm pretty sure that I saw a review of a dbr in a magazine last year, but I can't get to my collection until tomorrow.
