If you require any info. on OS DIAMOND BACK BMX  (frame serial number dates, history)
- you should contact S.E. Finkelman (Sandy) - owner of WHEELS N' THINGS - El Cajon, CA.

(ebay member :  seriously2)

OSBMX.com member : ROSBMX

Here is a picture from MAY 1981  -  BICYCLE MOTOCROSS ACTION MAGAZINE
WHEELS N' THINGS ADVERT (one of many)

This guy seems to able to answer any question regarding OS DIAMOND BACK.

He is a highly respected member of the BMX community - I would be suprised if no-one on here has dealt with him / or knows him.


Here are a couple of links to some of his DIAMOND BACK related threads :

Hi Jon,

yes I am a member there - I was invited by ASTRODAMUS to check out OS-BMX.com a few months back, and I have visited regularly - but have only just begun to add my comments on there...

After seemingly causing a bit of upset by using a different ebay user name to my radbmx user name, I opted
to use my ebay user name on OS-BMX.com


Yes, I agree - Sandy is amongst one of many extremely cool individuals, in the OS community... he has been helpful to me along the
way and sells some nice kit.

Cheers Jon - and goodluck with the serial no. info.

Brett
