Diamond Back Silver Streak
« on: December 14, 2009, 08:48 PM »
Started on this new project, this is in amazing condition, original chrome looks like new,  almost all the correct original bits, even has the original DB irc tyres hardly worn!! its a 1982, just an easy clean up and re-annodize of the black bits.
this is how i got it

stripped down and left in degreaser, they come out like new, this bike must hardly of been used, and stored away inside for years


stripped polished and ready to go off to the annodizers

Aye it was a nice survivor that  :-\

I'd have probably just cleaned it  :-\

But I'm sure it'll look mint with your resto bits done  ;)

Should look just like in the ad more or less............ :coolsmiley:
