Title: Diamond Back reference
Post by: sparky on July 26, 2007, 01:09 PM

I've been updating my website over the past couple of weeks with Diamond Back information between 1977 to 1985

Though not complete, I've had very encouraging emails/feedback which only drives me to expand it more, such as a comphrehensive serial number/model and contact page.

I only know of a couple of other reference sites, one was Sandy's, which has since stopped being updated, and another where the chap has decided to pull out of OS BMX

Anyway, take a look as I'm hoping it will be welcomed as much as I'm enjoying doing it.

Select the BMX section > Diamond Back and hopefully enjoy. :daumenhoch:

i presume koizumi made f/f for other companies

ie raleigh,

i was checking out spillers OS bike (aero pro) the other day,this also has a baseball symbol

maybe a good idea to trace the master welder responsible for the fabrication

such as the SE guys have done with mike devitt

Cheers fella,

I was thinking of having a page where you'd have Model --- Serial  --- Owner (hyperlinked to associated forum) and picture

So yes, if a gallery picture would benefit and people are happy to have this info, no problem. :daumenhoch:
