Thanks.

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.

and im only going on wot the bloke who ran the diamondback team

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 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.

Post by: scary_leary on November 29, 2006, 10:19 PM
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.
