Please join and post pics of you bikes as I’ve just started a Retro Diamond Back FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/163775069611393/?ref=share_group_link A “Show us your Diamond Backs!” thread is a great idea too! 💡 I’ll get it sorted! 😉

Thanks Dom! Never considered turning a 27.0 into a 26.8 before but that is a very interesting option! Cheers!

Awesome advice 👏 nice one! Guess I’ll get those decals ordered then if I’m sanding the whole thing 😉

Up to about a thousand grit; got it nice one 😉 If I can make it look half as clean as those MT60 highlight polished cranks I got off you then I’ll be happy!

@Tootyred thanks for the heads up! I decided to make a cheeky offer before the price inevitably jumped up (better ones seem to be fetching around £75 atm 😯) and it was accepted so I’ll probably attempt to clean it up a bit and buy some of those replacement eBay decals from Spain. Then likely...

Pics of current condition:

A really rare set of forks that I was amazed to find on a resprayed retro GT bike I bought. The whole bike had been painted red (badly) by a previous owner but as the paint was flaking off, and I could see patches of the iconic “blue widow” GT paint scheme underneath, I decided to use a stiff...

PM sent asking about the tyres…

Yeah I noticed you’d put 1” but 25.4 is the one in this case 😉 did you sort the Avenir bars? If so it may be an option to keep it cheap and Avenir for now with this stem till you find a nice T bone…...

Yeah been there; I bought a huge 94 Gary Fisher Advance for the Tioga Psycho 2s to put on my Ascent EX just to match the pink 🙈 then gave the Fisher to my neighbour who’s 6ft7” 😂 Would this T bone stem suit your Axis? Or are you after one with L-shaped hanger routing under the stem rather than...

Yeah I’ll be sure to share! 😉 Monkeyshred did a 91 Apex build on YouTube and mine will be very similar for this one as I’m taking it back to close to original with a M650 DX groupset I’ve pieced together. I was very lucky to get this red with black tiger stripe frameset, plus original bars...

Awesome!! I’ve got a 91 Apex I’m gathering the parts to restore atm! They truly are great bikes! But an axis is definitely the top dog! Nice find 👌

Wow! That’d be a dream bike find for me that! Congrats! Condition looks great too! One of my favourite paint jobs of all time! Enjoy it! Just something about these early 90s DBs isn’t there 😉 Smokes will look ace 👍

I’ll drop you a PM John

Hi 👋 I may be interested in one of the GTs… Are they both XL? Also are they long or short sleeved and £10 or £15? Thanks 😉
