1983 Diamond Back Pacer 500, 'upgraded survivor'
« on: December 08, 2014, 08:40 PM »
My new little toy was dug out of a garage in Southampton, then stored with a friend, and I removed it from his possession today, it's not stock, but it was definitely upgraded back in the day to this spec. So upgraded survivor spec, all I've done is change the seat post from a wänk layback.

1983 db pacer 500 f & f
Db stamped medium bars
Sr stem :( it's going
Dc tech 3
Dc 1020
83 stamped cable
Dc tan blocks
Takagi crank, spider and chainring
Sr pedals
Mx clamp
Sumo rims on hubs that need an id, jou yu joy tech hubs dated 84
Og Chengies complete lll pattern
Viscount dyna seat

Enjoy

You know what Jaymz, I do so love a survivor over a bling build. They have more meaning and all those parts on that bike are what we (most of us) had and used back then, even the SR stem that wasn't really that bad to  be honest  :daumenhoch:

Love it mate  :coolsmiley:

Cheers all, I've had my trusty tube of autosol out tonight, swapped out the grips and put a dk stem on it

Really bad iphone pics in a dimly lit shed at night!

Nice, that's in great condition. One of the locals at our track had one of those around 85/86. The frame was short and light, a bit like you!!
