Title: Diamond Back Senior Pro finished
Post by: sparky on January 03, 2011, 05:05 PM: My final build and decided to take the plunge to put together a NOS rider, just like back in the day when you got your new bike (albeit the bars aren't).

Always loved the gold/red mix but might drop the seat post a little, looks at tad high in the picture.
