Final Review: Diamondback Carbon Overdrive Pro 29er

If you had a chance to look at my first article about the Diamondback Carbon Overdrive Pro 29er, you already know how cool it looks, and you know it has some seriously tasty parts fitted to it. To quickly condense my impression of this bike, I’d say it is a lot more capable on the …
