Title: Its a Diamondback But Which 1 ???
Post by: snav69 on September 18, 2006, 05:40 PM: Just built this up to see what it looks like , any ideas what it is?? It is a small frame compared to my other bmx's with a small BB ie- not the same size as a regular bike.Looking at the other posts i gather it was made in 1981 frame serial# 1H0011 baseball , forks serial# baseball 1JT(can you confirm this plz).The bike has no hole in the front forks for a front brake so i presume its a race bike.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post by: snav69 on September 18, 2006, 07:55 PM: Thanks oberonspacefruit , Just wondering if its worth restoring or leaving as is , needs new decals and probably a re-chrome. If its a cheap bike i won't bother with the chrome just re sticker it :)
Just measured the BB - External is diameter 39.5mm (1.55 in) Internal diameter is 34.6mm (1.36 in) these are approx.
