I was out in my shop today and noticed my new mountain bike sitting in the corner. I had almost forgotten about it! Earlier this winter I got a great deal on a leftover 2006 Diamondback Freeride XTS Mountain bike. The bike retails for $1899, but I didn't pay anything near that for it. I got to looking around and found the invoice. After sales tax, it cost just a few dollars more than my Viva VX200SX. I can't believe that I purchased a motorcycle for less than I paid for a mountain bike. You gotta love the Chinese. My original plan for the XTS was to part it out on ebay. Then I rode it! I hope it's the same for the Viva.
