Holy smokes that is a sweet Diamond Back. The space is important, they started with two words, then DiamondBack, then Diamondback. Lots to love on that bike.

PS you are in trouble now, you've opened up Pandora's BMX box. You think MTB prices are crazy...

Could be a fun bash bike. Planning on using that disk brake mount? Jumpers like that are interesting because they're still 26, and it looks like it uses a straight headset as opposed to tapered, could make it easier to use an older fork

Could save you the trouble of chopping down a mixte! I spy a lever for rear brakes, but where is the caliper? What weirdness have you uncovered this time?

Cool stuff. I know Bridgestone made some really good road and trail bikes. I had questions about the kink in the down tube too, but the new pics answered them.

Yes indeed it would. Or on RockRat. Does that bottom bracket fit with the crank? Looks like something other than a square taper. Did you get everything there? Xtr is fancy stuffs

I'm sure Raleigh must have made something in green.
Or forget about matching colors, and get comfortable on the Bertrand. A Brooks would look good on there

It would probably look great on @Captain Awesome Haro
