Originally purchased for my wife. She rode it a lot. This is a fun set-up that has never been dropped or ridden really that hard. Good quality Fox shocks on the front and rear. For the price, this is a good deal -- especially due to the quality and shape all three are in.

This frame is absolutely spotless. I built it up and rode it briefly and when I did, I never did anything strenuous to the frame. I hate to part with it, but at the moment it hangs in the garage along with three other builds I don't get the time to ride as often as I would like. No drops or crashes. I live in Texas and there are no mountains nor downhill here. I thought I would get to someplace with mountains or interesting riding terrain with it, but never did. The frame is absolutely spotless. It is not a featherlight frame. The welds are thick and the tubing is generous. Typical Diamondback quality. Would be an excellent downhill rig, and I'm bummed I could never get anywhere to try it. Read up on the reviews of this frame. Mountain Biking Magazine had a lot of good things to say about it back in the day and it was sexy as hell when put together (not sure how I managed not to take any pics of it put together - otherwise I show you).
