tossing my card in the hat with a 79 mongoose nickel plated frame and fork, and yellow tuff II mags. no pics yet, but ill get some when the frame sheds its black house paint.
 
Bikejunkie, it's getting there. I overhauled my Campy hubs and laced them into a set of hard anodized Rigida rims with stainless spokes. Gotta love Campy stuff...30 some odd years old and the bearings and races are still perfect. I have the bars, stem, cranks and pedals I'm going to use...the pedals are the same set I ran back then as well. Still hunting all the other parts.
Pics soon... :mrgreen:
 
This is the latest I picked up its an 83 Diamondback Viper, it has KKT pedals and from what I can tell the original bars and stem, I have white grips coming along with a white seat,already have the white tires put on, still need to order decals and a chain....I already have a layback Diamondback seat post...its starting to clean up real nice[img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/scrambler004.jpg[/img]

Is that a crack on front of the right chainstay? Looks pretty big as it goes from the top of the tube to the bottom.

on a side note, I'm surprised there aren't any Hawks. You know the aluminum frames with the square tubing? I always loved those bikes but always a bit out of my price range.
 
No crack, its just dirty. Its been stored in a attic for the last three years and needs a good cleaning. Heres some pictures of it

I don't mean to make it a big issue. I just remember back in my BMX'in days, the aluminum frames didn't seem to hold up. Probably since they weren't made to take a beaten on the street like a chromoly frame was.
