yup, no senior pro mate. :'( . could be a streak2 or hot streak or summat like that. know little about later db's after '82/'83
-
Cheers everyone, I appreciate the feedback. I'll probably have a few more questions later
I know cbrgil anyway, he's my neighbour ;). Actually it's his old DB that I'm restoring (properly this time) :LolLolLolLol:
Started putting it together last night in the living room, while being carefully watched by the wife.

serial no is on bb
and im only going on wot the bloke who ran the diamondback team
told billy at bournemouth
-
Ok, I think I'm about there. I've decided to put a full set of 890, rather than just the rear
All I need is the spider, chainring, chain and freewheel. Anyone know what makes and style these will be. I'm guessing the freewheel will be Suntour.

Yeah, I'd agree there, look at the angle of the rear dropouts. Big clue that.

i had a viper bitd so cool with that lol
and he must of been wrong then lol
-
so wot year would this be as i had a viper in 83 84
and had diff stickers to it
ie the shiny diamond type
-
I have a Viper and it's around '83. I'll compare the serial to it and come back to you.
Those decals do not look right for that era, moreso Formula One.
-
Rhys its an 84 model and yeah the decals arnt original.

How much of that is original spec as I'm pretty sure the SP came with a one piece crank, though it looks lovely.
-
