Diamond Back Forks
« on: December 16, 2005, 10:11 PM »
Hi all... Are these forks from an early streak> Maybe 1979-80.... I suppose the two dropouts are for different handling setups.
  Any info appreciated. :santa_afro:

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Not streak forks, as streaks didn’t arrive til 82

Those forks were found on Diamond backs between 78-80
and were known as “pro kit” bikes…

Chrome bike shown below, ive also seen them in blue and red.
