My 2007 Diamondback

[GCLucas]

Hi guys!

So, I guess it's time for a quick introduction

I've a 2007 Diamondback Della Cruz 1.0, it was purchased in Florida and brought to Poland in 2009. One year ago in summer 2014 I bought it on Internet auction. It was totally new, it never been used, new, original tires, perfect paint etc.

Through the year I changed valve caps for game dices, tires from Kenda Kaze 2.125 for Schwalbe Fat Frank 2.35 and put colored chain, which fits the rims.

I also have some plans for this year. I'm going to buy wider rims and bent springer

Thread will be updating

So far, here are some photos

Very cool! The last photo with the spring dropped out of the fork looks cool, just a little longer and lower but it makes a difference!

Yes, It looks a way better, but with the spring dropped out it's almost impossible to turn I've to figure something out to make it work well, but so far I have no solution

I started working on a della cruz this week and had to see how it looked with the forks extended like your last image. I see what you mean about the turning! I am going to place some spacers between the neck with the fork screw where the spring would normally go, find a angle that will still look stretched like yours does and give it a bit more clearance to turn with. not sure if it will work out like i'm thinking.
Did you come up with a solution for yours?
