Title: DB Help
Post by: Bananaman on May 15, 2006, 11:35 AM
Does anyone have a spec/pic to an 81/82 DB, just snake on the down tube and the forks have a double dropout?? chromoly sticker on the rear where you would normally find silver streak on the later ones!!??

I can take some pics when I get home on Thursday if you can't get it from the description

Cheers :daumenhoch:

It sounds like a Diamond Back Pro. Colour scheme is called Electric Blue. Frame and forks are 1.2 guage 100%  heliarc-welded chrome-moly. Measure the toptube length and post the frame number... that will help pin it down for sure :daumenhoch:
Here is a shot of an 80-81 Diamond Back ad. I think its the same frame but with dual dropout forks added. i could be wrong tho.. :)
