Been offered one of these locally (not this exact bike, but more or less the same). Not sure if it is worth the extra over a Giant Chaos that is also for sale around the corner... any thoughts? Both LX, both canti brakes, but the DB is True Tempter TT Lite and may even be a former team bike (stickers), but the Giant is less than half the price... @vpCogworks @WimVDD what do you think?

I'm biased as hell towards Diamond Back in general so I might not give you a very objective and satisfactory answer haha! I'd definitely go with the DB if it's not too expensive, they are lovely machines.

The Giant was sold overnight so it's clearly a sign from the heavens - I'm picking up the Diamond Back tomorrow afternoon. I'm still not 100% sure which model it is though; could be apex, ascent, axis. It's got similar paint to the one I posted before, but has 'grip shift' logos on the top tube.
