My bro has just bought it and i dont know about DB.
Shite pic i know, but thought some of you lot can help?
Model?
Year?
Anything else?
-
Looks a good score there Oli :) looks like a job for DB man! my guess is a streak? ???
-
looks like an 82 silver streak. or 83
-
It's missing a wheel trim, can only see one ???
-
has that got a european bb and what is the serial#. i can tell you the year and where it was made from the serial, can giva a clue which model too.
-
look for a serial# on the fork dropout too, should be one.
-
not picked it up yet
dont care what it is
only cost £38
-
bargain
even if it's a viper
-
If it's a Viper, there'll be mounts on the drive side, for a chain guard ;)
-
well the serial begins with the year then the batch then the batch number 1h00034 for example and will have the little baseball symbol because it's made in japan. if it is like F 4 33333 then it'a a taiwan made bike. if it's from 82/83/84 on and has an american bb then it will be a silverstreak(unless it's got a chaingaurd tab), if it's from 81 or earlier with an european bb then it will be a mini pro, or with an american bb frome the same period then a medium pro. it's too small to be a senior pro. if it's newer than 85, ask somebody else because i have not got a clue about the later stuff(pacers vipers etc.)
-
:o
I was gonna say i think it's a streak
-

i had a viper and it had no mounts ,how to tell if viper is welding not as good as silver streak
-
i thought you hated DB orb ?? we all know its for you and not your brother ;)

Hi all
I also had a Viper (my first DB) and that did not have chain guard mounts.
Shite pic agreed, but it does look very small in the front and rear triangles, and look how close the front wheel is to the top of the forks.
It also has a very slanting seat post (if this has not cracked it has done well, so most probably a small / light rider) so I'm going with a mini of early 80's

could be a formula one as its got skinny wheels
-
