Anniversary Diamondback

Don't get too exited....it's just early discussion at the moment. :popcorn:

With it being 40 years of the first Diamond Back in 2017 and if Raleigh were to consider an anniversary model, or even two, which model name would you like to see on a frame and why (we're not talking frame design/components here, I'm going to start a thread about that later)?

For me it would be the Silver Streak because although I had one and I pampered it bitd, knowing that the Black/Chrome mixture was a risk for Diamond Back, it saved the brand from the brink of collapse.

Second would be the Harry Leary because this model for me marked the beginning of signature models of such a competitive and successful racer yet set the benchmark of mixing quality components with styling.

pickle:
Yeah gotta be those two sparky  :daumenhoch:

Jaymz:
Absolutely. Silver Streak first as that's the name most remember. The the leary.

Retrodan72:
Defo those 2 Mark.

Obviously a well remembered brand from the 80s, although nobody near me owned one.

When I got back in, in 2008, I started my wish list, I could've put any model DB on the list, but it had to be the Silver Streak.

BMX1973:

If someone said name a Diamond Back model. It would be the Silver Streak. Probably the most popular BMX round my way as a kid.  :daumenhoch:
