I sat on the Diavel today. I quite like it...

Hmm, DLC-coated front forks. How long has that been going on?

I have them on the Hyper, so since 2008. Goes nice with the black theme. They used to use Titanium-Nitride ("TiN") coatings on their forks which was a gold colour, and I have those on the 748, and that started back in 2000. The Diavel has an awesome full-colour TFT display... pays a great little video when you power it on!
Pah! My Pace RC36 Evo pro II MTB forks had TiN coated stanchions way back in '98. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj262/A1exF/Cycles/Pace/DSC00029.jpg
You're going to tell us next that it has loads of apps already and that the horn has a silent vibrate mode.
I was thinking along those lines - imagine programming it to say something like: "YOU LOOK GAY" when you switch it on....
