So the Ammaco Team Sprint is now finished to my spec bike when I was 11.
I have started the DB I'm going the black gold theme, og Cali lie pads sum rims going for black Anno then will be laced with the gold suntor hubs on the wheels now, thinking of changing to a gold 3 piece crank with silver chainwheels... On the lookout now for gold calipers and levers and pedals

It came with the frame and forks when I bought them

So today I stripped down the alloy Sumo's and the burner wheels to steel the gold hubs from, decided to prep and etch prime the inner rim of the Sumo's then satin black, all ready to lace with new spokes and the gold hubs

Bit more today, well being as no one seemed to be difinative if my DB was a 84 viper or silver streak I thought I would make a tribute bike out of it and do a tribute to Harry Learys own bike. So had the frame powder coated black leaving the rear drop outs chrome, had the bars done also, it's going in the gold and black scheme as his is, so custom gold decals the alloy Sumo's I have done with a black face and having gold Shimano hubs laced is at the moment, tomorrow I'm going to give it a go at flocking the aero seat with 1mm flock to give the freash sued effect. As I have said it's a tribute bike not trying to pass it off as something it's not so please don't hate me.

Looking good and a bit different from the usual chrome and black Diamondbacks, nice one!

So I decided for the DB build I'm on it's needed a sued effect seat so got a old rider aero and had a play, first I gave it a light sand then a de Greece, masked off where I'm putting decals and got the flocking kit out, pretty happy with result.

Today I did a bit of assemble on the DB, dia comp 890s with dia comp bent levers, crown stem gold flueted seat post off eBay a repop but sanded the gold off the leading edges to leave polished alloy with gold inset, gold bear trap pedals, just looking for a gold chain wheel, got a gold chain. Wheels due back next week and then waiting on Padset to arrive
