Dibs...

I want it ..

Steve, DO NOT touch that Bike withe Steel whool to shine it up.

If you want to sell it I am a little interested Bro.
That Beauty has ALLL OF IT"S VALUE in that it has Every original Part.

Araya 7X 20 buy 1.75 Hoops,
Looks like Suzue Hubs
Suntour XC II Pedals
That Stem is Unique as all ged up.
Diamond Back EVERYTHING!!

Before you start Scrubbing I would think about carefully Braking it down and giving
every single Chrome piece a Bath in Oxilic Acid.

Feel Free to Phone me and ask question if you want Bro..
Diamond Backs have Never fetched as Much money as they should had over
The Years..It's Not a Million dollar Find...but it is VERY nice find!!!
in that it is a Diamond Back and Complete..

They are known for Cracking right at The Gusset near The Diamond on The Welds..

Kev might even have to wipe the drool off the keyboard. :mrgreen:

I knew it. Kev said 3 times he is interested in 2 sentences.

The cool thing about this bike is that there is no rust...just dirt and grime so no steel wool will be harmed in the cleaning of this bike. :mrgreen:

I plan to give it a light bath and then maybe some Mother's wax on the frame....nothing harsh.

I would have been 13 years old when this bike came out and that was prime drool time for me and high end BMX bikes.

I will let you know Kev if I do decide to sell the bike, but for now, I want to enjoy my first quality BMXer for a bit. :wink:

Serial number is 4B0055 and then the little baseball symbol.

 

[Rat Rod]

Wow...looks like it was the 55th bike produced in that batch in 1984 in Koizumi, Japan.

Got a call from my buddy Mitch at the Bicycle Exchange in Carrollton.

He has a pair of NOS Diamondback Comp III skin walls that he's selling me for a low low low low price. :wink:

That's what I love about that shop....they have been around since 1975 and still have tons of old stock sitting around.

I also ordered some gray and black Oakley F1 knock offs for the bike off of Ebay for $12 shipped.

Now if I could just get some time to clean the thing!!!!
