The box arrived today and I was concerned how much assembly would be required. I looked at several of the Amazon reviews of different bikes and there were multiple stories.The bike arrived well packaged with no scratches or missing parts. The only assembly required was: Install front brake onto frame and thread cable Install assembled handlebar (all cables and levers were installed already) - just the front brake cable had to be connected. Install seat and pedals Install quick release and front wheel Adjust brakes and test derailers Remove all protective packagingIt was that simple, maybe 30-45 minutes with all the adjustments. The bike did not come with any tools but as long as you have the basics you will be fine. I didn't expect it to be as easy as it was. I test rode on the temporary pedals supplied with the bike and everything shifted fine. I can't wait to get riding (I am waiting for my shoes). The bike seemed light, nimble and quick.Thanks Amazon and Diamondback!BTW - while I didn't need the Assembly Guide that came with the bike, there were spacing in between the words and it was easy to read, although a general guide for all types of bikes, not just this one.

I'm a recreational rider. Road raced in my teens and rode with a touring club for several years in later life. Have completed a couple dozen century rides years ago. Wanted a decent bike for one to two hour rides around my area. Diamondback is a well known name with a good reputation. The Podium 4 looked like a good mid-priced road bike. Mine arrived last week in excellent condition with all the correct gear on it. Assembly is 90% complete out of the box. After completing assembly I had to adjust the front derailleur, otherwise she was ready to roll. The bike appears to be well designed and manufactured. It rides and handles well. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality road bike in this price range.

I have put approximately 200 miles on this bike so far. It has a comfortable riding position. Not as comfortable as a beach cruiser, but better than most other road bikes. The components, brakes and shifters, work very well. This bike looks good, but it is not overly flashy like most road bikes today. I gave this bike 5 stars because I only paid $1000. For a $1000 bucks this is a great bike. I see that the price is now $1700 dollars. At that price I would give it 3 stars.
