How do you like the feel of the Diablo so far? I've only ridden Tron Horses DH,but my XC bike is a Jamis.My buddy who owns a lbs can get me a good deal on either 06' or 07's,but i dont really know many people who have one in my area.Thanks for any info.

So far i LOVE this bike!!! it sucks everything up really really well. Besides it riding like a dream bike it also looks awesome! If i were you i would have your lbs owner order one and when he gets i put together test ride it to get the feel of things and see how you like it.
The cable routing is a little weird but it doesnt take anything away from the performance so WHO CARES! Good luck man on making your desicion, the diablo wont let you down man.

ya its pretty low, i think thats why the bike rails so perfect. Personally i like them a bit lower than average. If you want to see some really low bbs the 2007 iron horse sundays win that catagory. haha

Sounds good man,thanks for the heads up.I think i can get an 06' 1.0 for around $2k brand new, so i may go after it.

Yeah the 1.0 and the 2.0 arnt very different from each other, one just has a manitou revox the other a manitou swinger 4 way rear shock, and for that price i would say go for it!
