Diamondback Bicycles Overdrive 29er Complete READY RIDE Hardtail Mountain Bike, 18″/Medium Black
Maybe you’re new to this whole mountain biking thing, or maybe you just want to take a stab at trail riding on 29” wheels, but either way, the Overdrive will get you out having fun. The 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is a trusted frame material, and the custom formed and butted tubes create a structure that is uniquely strong and lightweight. The machined head tube lets you steer with precision and the forged rear dropouts with a replaceable derailleur hanger mean you don’t have to worry about something breaking. All that’s left to you is to get out and ride. This bike is part of the new Diamondback Ready Ride Program. Hand built and shipped ride ready in a few easy steps! Diamondback Ready Ride bikes eliminate the usual hassle of tedious at-home bike assembly, an often-ignored process that can take hours. Our program allows you to spend less time assembling your new bike and more time riding it. Ready Ride bikes are hand-built nearly to completion and shipped straight to you. All you need to do is put on the front wheel, seat, and pedals. Yes, the brakes are dialed in and the derailleurs are adjusted: just pump up the tires and go!

Great bike I did a lot of research before buying the Diamondback Overdrive. Most of the reviews were positive and I found it highly recommended as an entry level Mountain bike on various web sites.
