Dia Compe Timeline.........your thoughts ?
« on: March 09, 2009, 08:05 PM »
Got this off bmxmuseum.com :

890 - late 70s-'86

900 - '79-'86

1000 - '79-'86

901 - '85- ?

880 - '85-'87

883 Nippon - '86-present

990 - '87-present

Is everyone in agreement with this  ???

Just want to get a handle on some era correctness issues i'm dealing with  :LolLolLolLol:

Also... I assume the 1020's would slide right in with the 890 dates  :-\

This is from an October 81 magazine, thought it might be of interest. My earliest caliper is 1981. A lot of built up bikes from that time came with 1020's though.

Not seen that article before, very nice ;)

A 901was first advertised late '84 btw. The earliest ad's I can find for 1000's was '80.

Nice post SteveG  :daumenhoch:

So '84 for the 901's then mark - sweet  ;)

With the posts from above then do we reckon that the '79 start date for the MX900/1000's should be 1980  :-\

Anyone else with anymore info  ???

I just took a look at my black 901's and both cable and calipers are marked '84  :daumenhoch:

All my 890/1020 MX900/MX1000's fall easily within the dates at the top.

Any other borderline dates to confirm/disprove the dates in the first post  ???
