Today I raced In European Duathlon Championships (40-44 AG) with a Dimond Brilliant Frame (bought)
My N=1, not trying to persuade anyone * **
I didn´t feel comfortable reading about safety doubts altough altough I didn´t experience any problems in my first 1.000 miles training on it (purchased in february) , but after reading all the responses my thoughts were that it´s a private question that shouldn´t affect adversily in my confidence,
After the first Ten Km I started to hammer the pedals, forgetting everything about the bike, but the legs. We raced in a storm, 35 mph guts, raining cats and dogs, not very good concrete, rolling hills with headwind at 400w and soft downhills with tail winds reaching 50mph at 0W. Finally I scored the best bike split (all the Age Groups) at 282W (pnorm) and I only remembered that the Dimond is a different bike when I picked up from boxes.
*as usual, sorry for my english, don´t want to be rude or unpolite
**My experience; triathlete since 1990. 5 x Kona, 9h08 PB (Vichy 2015), Bike Tech Editor in Finisher Triatlon Magazine (2003-2014) and BTE in Revista Triatlon (since 2016). Any commercial relationship with Dimond
