Gallery: Nico’s Diamant Montezuma
My bike is a black Diamant Montezuma, built in 2000 and bought new in 2001. The well-established German manufacturer Diamant now belongs to Trek and unfortunately doesn’t produce steel frames any more. So one could say that my bike has one of the last steel frames made by Diamant. I really love this bike. It’s now seven years old and I expect it to last at least another seven years.
I use my bike for nearly everything because it is the only vehicle I own (I’m 30 years old and have never bought a car). I grew up in Germany where it is normal to get around by bike. I did go to school by bike as well as to university and to work. Of course I also use public transportation from time to time. —Nico

Cool bike, Nico! Too bad Diamant isn’t making steel frames anymore. Have you ever had any problems with the adjustable stem? What brand of chainguard is that? It looks better than the others that I’ve seen available here in the US.
Can you provide more information on this please.
Sorry, I didn’t check this page during the last weeks.
@Brian:
The adjustable stem is just a few months old, so far I didn’t encounter any problems. The chainguard is a Horn Catena kompakt 44.
@Kevin:
Feel free to ask any questions. :-)
Some more info on the chainguard: the number 44 means that your front chainring may not have more than 44 teeth.
