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

Am with andy auguat 83!

top tube is 17.5 inch......and its about 3.3inch seat tube to start of brake stay, the brake stay has a flat washer welded to it.. .the seat post says diamond back turbo and has the baseball sign on it.
the welds look very neat will get a better photo in morning...

yeah Augest 83....it is year number followed by letter month and then production number followed by a baseball.

Its a streak... looks like someone popped in a viper crank and wow you got an original turbo seatpost lovely.

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
