The A-Series (aka Works/Team) was manufactured by Koizumi for Diamond Back and used the same frame as the Diamond Back TK

The entry level Pro-Star was manufacured by Akisu for Diamond Back and was replcaed by the Viper

What sort of price do the "entry" level Pro Star fetch ?

sparky's the man
i had a team pro star with a diamond in the guset and all DB parts.
i had it from new

29 year on i fined out its the same frame as
the tk. always wanted a DB back then

sparky · « **Reply #20 on:** April 15, 2010, 06:49 PM »

Here you go, TK but also used for Works Pro-Star (only ever heard of PK Gary who had one with Diamond gussett).

Here's the other style gussett, this is NOS original with Pro-Star decals, even the the original advert looks significantly different with a smoke coat and yellow decals.

The original advert also mentions full Cr-Mo, which is isn't (same as Silver Streak), mild steel rear section.
