That citric stuff works wonders .
Love the original shop decal  :daumenhoch:

The forks were worse than the frame other than inside the gusset so hopefully it’ll all come up like that. Luckily none of the chrome is flaking so it should come up ok. Like I said it’s still quite badly pitted but I can live with that.

Always loved the chrome Diamondbacks b.i.t.d, would have been my dream bike if i could have afforded one!  I finally purchased a viper last year and built it up (it's in the Old School section). Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I found that DB parts are a lot more common on US eBay (seem to find more complete DB's for sale over here rather than parts).

Quick update on the build. Got a bit of time to myself finally so put the bars in the oxalic and stuck the forks back in too for a bit more of a soak,and the gusset end of the frame.


Frames still in but I think it’s as good as it’s going to get with the bars and forks.



Also stripped down the XCII pedals gave them a good clean and regrease and stripped the cages ready for refinishing.

That's going to be nice  :)

Is it going to be an original spec or upgraded aftermarket parts ?

That chrome had come out really well Chris, great job done there.  :coolsmiley:
