Is the sale over? I noticed on the corporate site, that the prices are back to the "normal" sale price. Do I need to re-log in or something?

Same here

Hi

Went to pull the trigger on a frameset this morning and pricing has gone back to where it was. Is the slowtwitch sale over?

Sorry about that, folks! I just talked to the people at Diamondback, and they are working on figuring out the problem. Will post again when things are fixed.
Sale is definitely not over!

Matt and Dan, thanks for passing along the deal to us, much appreciated. I ordered an Andean 1. Probably the only who likes that color...but reminds me of my first mtn bike, a DB Ascent in lime green and black/Deore components. So, a throwback moment for this 60-year old.

Didnt need another bike, but what the hell.

Thank you again

Dennis

You're welcome, and thanks for the order!

As a manufacturer, you basically can't win with color selection. Unless you just go with the old standbys of black or red. And then people complain that you used the same colors as everyone else. You'll note, black and red were the colors for the first run of Andeans, and... yup. People complained those were boring.

The colorways for the bikes up on the site actually tested really well, so you aren't alone!

Another sizing question: I'm on a medium Trek SC and my reach is maxed out. My pad stack and reach are 614mm & 530mm. I seem to be on the line between a M and L. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for all of your help!

 
Way too much reach for a size medium. Best solution for this is a size large with a longer than stock stem or an aerobar setup you can push the reach out on.

Hi

I tried ordering and can now see the discounted Slowtwich pricing but when i try to add the order to the cart get an error saying Bad Gateway - tried a half dozen times. Any advice?

Sorry to hear you're having this problem. Here's a resource for resolving a bad gateway issue.

Hi Fredly,

I am 6.1 34" inseam, pad x=52cm, pad Y=72cm. I am looking at the XL size, is that all right? I have a old cervelo P2 58cm, feel a bit small, I am not looking for an aggressive stand and will most likely raise the bar.

Thanks

Cyril

Yes, I logged on to check the price of the frames but went ahead and got the Andean 1. I have coveted this bike since their introduction and I am so sad to see them discontinued but I am so happy I will have one!!!

Do you really? I've only seen a few IRL and all their riders were just in love with them. I cannot WAIT to get mine! For the record, I now ride a 2011 Kestrel Talon with a lot of upgrades but the Andean looks wicked!

XL for sure, and you will want to use a front end that will allow you to add stack, like the Aeria Ultimate on the Andean 3. May also need to use a longer than stock stem, you look to be right on the dividing line reach-wise.

Thanks. Is that not possible to add stack on the Andean 1 or 2?

The Andean 1 and 2 are built with the Profile Sonic Ergo 35a aerobars. You could make those work, but would need to purchase the aftermarket riser kit. The Aeria is a much better aerobar for people who need higher stack heights, though.

If you're thinking about an Andean 2, definitely take into consideration upgrading to the Andean 3. Upgrading the bar later would basically be equal to the price difference on those two models now (and you'd get a faster set of wheels).

Hi Fredly,

I was in the process of checking out for an Andean 2 and the system crashed :(.
