The A-Series (aka Works/Team) was manufactured by Koizumi for Diamond Back and used the same frame as the Diamond Back TK

The entry level Pro-Star was manufacured by Akisu for Diamond Back and was replcaed by the Viper

Here you go, TK but also used for Works Pro-Star (only ever heard of PK Gary who had one with Diamond gussett). :daumenhoch:

(http://www.os-db.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=710&d=1248113867)

Here's the other style gussett, this is NOS original with Pro-Star decals, even the the original advert looks significantly different with a smoke coat and yellow decals.

(http://www.os-db.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=711&d=1248113867)

The original advert also mentions full Cr-Mo, which is isn't (same as Silver Streak), mild steel rear section.
