Yellow 1999 XR4 (Me riding my bike)
Red 2000 XR4 (Friend with kneepads riding his bike)
Red 2001? X2 warranty replacement for my 1999 when it cracked (Friend riding my bike)
Just curious, if anyone knows: Is the XTS series comperable in weight to bikes by other manufactures in the same "class" ? I may not have bought mine if I'd known how heavy this mother was beforehand. But, I love it now and wouldn't trade it away...
is just like the one already posted here but I thought I would put my two cents worth in also . I'm new to the sport ( 6 months ) and this is my first bike so far I'm totaly happy.The only thing I've change so far are the peddles ( Shimano 520's ) and now I'm looking at the SL Super 05 for the end of this year I hope. Now for a question when I tell people I have a Diamond back they look at me like I'm nuts but from the research that I done before I bought my Topanga looking at component selection ,cost and quality I don't see what there issues are ( Topanga's a little heavy is the only issue I can find ) ?
I got a really good deal on a backup frame with lots of parts (XT/517 wheelset, rebuilt Helix Pro and more) - not sure yet if I'll move parts from the V-Link...
You more than likely will be having problems with your bottom bracket I have 500 miles on mine now and it has loosened up twice already and this time ( # 3 ) the bearings are completely waisted Diamondback is replaceing it free of charge but I don't think it will hang this time either. Any way if this problem starts happening to you or if it already has please feel free to contact me to trade research.
