Diamondback sticker help por favor.

[cookem]

My friend gave me his old DB Viper. I want to fix it up to look like new.

It has these stickers on it. Are they still available? Also why are the fork stickers totally different (red ones), is it a euro version or something?

well ive got the pacer ones in red but are getting them redone in blue like these

as for the foil type i dunno if he can do them ones

[cookem]

Thanks for reply.

I'm assuming mines a Viper anyway. Some pictures should be attached (Just signed up to photobucket  )

The serial number is F3080467. Any ideas if this is a Viper?

As for the foil stickers, I reckon these would be hard to replicate.

wots the head tube sticker got on it as my old viper i had bitd  had the snake on it

[cookem]

The head tube has got a playboy sticker on it!! Could be a DB Playboy maybe.

[scary_leary]

Yeah its a Viper.....

You can pick the decals up no problem on ebollock..
Ive just checked but theres none on at the mo...but keep checking ecrotch
over the next week...always search diamond back and diamondback

[cookem]

Nice one scary. Will keep checking.

Another question. The seat post downtube has snapped off. Have still got it. Is it possible to re-weld it back on or does the whole tube need to be replaced?

[lazychubs]

mines been rewelded but was only half snapped lol
but did replace the whole tube on me ripper tho
and i snapped mine bitd aswell  asthe down tube and headtube and some other bits lol
wasnt much left of it by the time it got nicked

[cookem]

It was reading your PK post that made me think that I might need to get the whole thing replaced. Can really do without getting the whole thing replaced really. Does it cost alot?

[lazychubs]

well it helps if you got a mate who builds cars for a living
he only charged me 25 quid to
weld in the seat pole and redo the dropouts

[cookem]

I remember now, you had an exact replacement didn't you. Very much doubt I would be able to get one of those. Would need to make my own I would imagine.

Being the fat bastard that I am, how would I prevent this from happening again? I read somewhere on another forum that someone inserted a wooden dowel in the seat tube that would reach to the bottom bracket and therefore give a bit more extra strength. Good idea/bad idea?

[lazychubs]

yeah that sounds like a good idea and im 18stone so no lay backs for me as i bent the one on me redline lol
and it was 4130 as well but any engineer shop could help ya or ask donker as he did mine

[cookem]

Nice one Lazy, thanks for your help.
