Litle baseball is a japanese quality mark often assosiated with Tange as a maker

I am sure if DB serials make any sense then someone on here will know

To ID it for sure....
I need the toptube length centre to centre...
A close up of the weld quality on the rear loops
And the distance from the back of the seatube to the brakestay...

At first glance it looks like a streak ;)

its a nice frame , Diamond back are a good old school make , but it depends on what you want really , i would not do one myself but thats because I dont love diamond backs, others on here do , so I guess its up to you .

i would say that DB were a good maker of well rerspected BMX bikes , so its a quality frame along the same lines as a mongoose or a redline
