My husband just bought this Diamondback Option for $75 on Facebook marketplace. Is this a good bike? Is it worth $75? When was this made? The man who sold us the bike did not have this brand in the photo. The photo he posted was a Dyno. My husband didn’t check the brand names when he went to look at it. I’m not sure if we got swindled.

Worth the 75 bucks yeah…much more? Nah. this would be an entry level bike. More for neighborhood riding than skateparks. Great for a kid that just wants something to ride!
Kickstand says no. Diamondback used to be pretty solid bikes. Don’t hear much about them anymore. Either way 75$ is a fair price for this, you could definitely get that back!
It’s a department store bike. Probably $100 new. Definitely can’t hold up to real riding.
I’m gonna go with not great.
Chain guard and a kickstand is a dead giveaway. Diamondback sold out a long time ago and hasn’t really made a bike store grade bmx in a while. Curious that it has what appears to be a 3 piece crank on it.
It’s probably fine for a kid pushing around but if the kids gonna take it to the park or anything, it’s not gonna last super long. I’m guessing unsealed bearings across the board, hi-ten frame and fork, just…not great stuff.
I like less that the guy had a pic of a dyno and sold your husband this. Sounds like a bait and switch to me, hoping for this exact scenario. Dyno hasn’t made a 20″ bmx since 2009 that I’m able to verify, and this bike is a LOT newer than that
👎 Kickstand
👎 Reflectors
