you waiting for something off oli.
good luck thats all i have to say ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.
-
I was always taught that it was a streak if it had the baseball by the serial no/
-
Wow....looks like you've nailed a the ultimate....Harry Leary Turbo
-
I was wondering that...seat tube angle looks quite steep....take a pic side on and a pic of the rear dropouts from above so we can see the thickness.
Either a Leary or a senior Pro I think.... 8)
-
oh, and you will need a turbo stem like you just sold!
-
nice tile decal.
-
;D ;D ;D

Hi...
Nice Find :)
I must agree, that post angle is looking steep, so I'm with the others, a HL (not that many got the black stripped though I thought) or SP. Strange as it is, I just found out this week that my brothers old Pro a Turbo and some other nice rides went to the tip a few years back :'(
I reckon you have a good un there, so where is the pics - side on and from above.
Just to confirm about the baseball - what is the spec with it? I thought it means cr-mo, so good.
EG - Streak, Mini, Formula, Senior, Turbo alll have it. Does it change between before and after serial number though?
-
will do a pic later i thought it was turbo as when i polished it it had a residue of blueish grey /colour round the bb shell still on it only about 4 spots though .only bought it to get the stem for danny as it was the only way i could get him it ?lol
the frame and forksd will be for sale soon .was hoping my silver streak from orb would have been here by now but it isnt ?????
-
Gregs got the biggest smile on his face right now coz he's just realised his frame/forks is worth Ł400 - Ł500!!
Come on Greg - How much was it????

do these pics help .would love for someone to confirm or not for definate .i nearly sold it last night to another member for 80 quid and he said it was too much .lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I'll give you Ł85 for it....
It has to be a senior pro or leary T.....steep seat tube and ultra thin dropouts...sweet as that girls arse on the remote control thread (well almost!)
-
I never thought senior pro....its a turbo
looks too still have its original black headset..
Greg for fooks sake don’t rub any paint off…as that’s your link to it being
a turbo.
Greentoad the baseball symbol means made in Japan….nothing else.
A lot of turbos come with no paint on…mine included:

nice stickers on that scary
lol u sorted ure scanner yet
and well done greg if it is a leary
-
You lucky thing you -
I was looking at Vintage this morning and if you look at the BMX Bikes: 1982-1983 pictures of the SP and Turbo you can see the angle of the post.
You really need to get a pic of the full frame side on to see the triangles left and right of the seat post.
I don't reckon you have a SP as the triangles are nearly equal size, but from what I can see of your pic believe that you have a HL as it has the larger triangle at the Headset, and with you also having a few tell tale signs at the BB.
So who has a Turbo and Tape to hand that can measure it up.
Great find.....I'll give you Ł90 ;)
-

-
you seem to have had busy night mate,.heres the story anyways
well basically got in touch with guy who used to ride race bitd with his brother thru ebay .he lives about 20 miles away from me so i bought some wheels off him and he said he had his old bike in loft .i asked what it was he said diamond back .i told him was interested so he sent me pic .looked okay but nowt special as loads parts changed for newer ones .anyways got hold of baldbmxer who lived near him and asked him to collect the wheels for me and he said yes and would drop them to bones for me .he looked at the db when there and said yes it was okay and that it had turbo stem .danny silverstreak was looking for stem so i thought yes ill get the bike let him have the sstem and then build the rest or strip and sel it all .so really just got it for the stem for him .anyways when it got dropped off cleaned it etc as it had bit yellow paint on dropouts etc so had been massacred at some point but this paint has saved the chrome from decay .thats when i put it on here to make sure it was a silver streak as i was told .baldbmxer had spoken to the lad when he collected the wheels and knew his brother back in the day and said he used to ride a turbo !so i seem to have got his brothers old bike and not the silver streak he had somehow ?and thats the story in short ?
i paid a total of 70 quid for the whole bike .
