Here's my pretty much complete NOS spec 1982 Silver Streak I've just about finished, even down the the IRC innertubes. This has been built based on the official literature, though there are a couple of items that I will change if and when they come up.

The only items that are not 100% NOS or offical spec are the seatpost (unbranded), chain (Izumi) stem (not NOS)and repro padset.

Oh and I'll be adding a front 890 when I find another NOS one.

I managed to prise the tyres off a member on here, thanks and you know who you are (now just the DID chain)

Looks real good.I remember adverts in magazines with pics of Diamond back bikes- I think they were chrome/red and a Prostar on the same page in chrome/blue and I thought they were the dogs danglies.Has anyone got a pic of the ad i'm talking about.

sweet build mark

just wish that i could get on with mine ,,,but seeing as the frame has been lost 6 weeks ago by the courier company ,,its looking doughtfull

sparky · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2009, 08:19 AM »

Cheers for the comments guys,

Voodoo, you referring to this one?

Neil, it seemed a shame for the frameset to just sit there when it opitomises old school DB for me so she had to get built.

Deffo wont be building anymore; and as for this one, a no hoper for finding NOS parts but a lovely project for someone
