This Podium 4 is a fantastic bike. I had a podium 1 and wanted to upgrade to a better group set. Ultegra shifts very crisp and they look very refined. Better ergonomics when shifting with the STI shifters. This bike is fast and pedals with ease. It did come with pedals with clips. I have rode 30 miles so far and I can truly say I love this bike. Compared with other Ultegra setup bikes this one is the best buy. Did research comparing the 105 to the Ultegra and found that the price difference is worth it. This bike has reminded me how much I love to ride. I weighted the Pod 4 at 19.4 lbs.

The box arrived today and I was concerned how much assembly would be required. I looked at several of the Amazon reviews of different bikes and there were multiple stories.
The bike arrived well packaged with no scratches or missing parts. The only assembly required was:
Install front brake onto frame and thread cable
Install assembled handlebar (all cables and levers were installed already) - just the front brake cable had to be connected.
Install seat and pedals
Install quick release and front wheel
Adjust brakes and test derailers
Remove all protective packaging
It was that simple, maybe 30-45 minutes with all the adjustments. The bike did not come with any tools but as long as you have the basics you will be fine. I didn't expect it to be as easy as it was. I test rode on the temporary pedals supplied with the bike and everything shifted fine. I can't wait to get riding (I am waiting for my shoes). The bike seemed light, nimble and quick.
Thanks Amazon and Diamondback!
BTW - while I didn't need the Assembly Guide that came with the bike, there were spacing in between the words and it was easy to read, although a general guide for all types of bikes, not just this one.

I'm a recreational rider. Road raced in my teens and rode with a touring club for several years in later life. Have completed a couple dozen century rides years ago. Wanted a decent bike for one to two hour rides around my area. Diamondback is a well known name with a good reputation. The Podium 4 looked like a good mid-priced road bike. Mine arrived last week in excellent condition with all the correct gear on it. Assembly is 90% complete out of the box. After completing assembly I had to adjust the front derailleur, otherwise she was ready to roll. The bike appears to be well designed and manufactured. It rides and handles well. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality road bike in this price range.
