Looking for a cheap set of shimano Levers Canti brakes Thumbshifters The bike is a 1991 so looking for early 90s bits. Dx would be ok

I had a feeling the saracen would win this. Some diamondback fans could be along soon though 😀

No no no what have you done ;) Im joking by the way, you've done a stellar job of this

As per title, vote away Saracen pros: already built just needs upgrade of parts Stand out colour Saracen cons: Owned it only 6 hours forks non Original and wrong colour. does have spots of rust/patina Diamondback pros: Owned it 11years Better paintwork, less rust All original parts Diamondback...

Gotta take any chance we get in this country, luckily I had the bike in the car boot still

Todays brought the best weather we've had all year so far so I've taken the bike for its first ride at weston super mare. The gears need a bit of fettling but the brakes are spot on. The foot harnesses on the pedals though are terrible and they'll have to be changed

I'm gonna say that's a 1994 mate, good to see another zaskar again, I had three of them years ago. Great bikes, the 16 inch has a nice short top tube so has a nice riding position compared to other bikes of the period.

The tyres are tioga farmer Johns nephew. I think they'll clean up okay, not got a clue what they're worth though

I think were in agreement about the forks. Originally they were colour matched to the frame it seems, I think I'll probably paint them black to match the bar and stem. From googling it looks like the oem forks were more tapered in thickness, becoming thinner towards the axle (Credit to...

Picked this one up today, which I found while searching Facebook for a donor bike, for the diamondback frameset I'm building. But I feel like it's too good for that really, so it may become the main project while any parts I upgrade will be moved over to the db. Either way I have a rider now...

Karma'd me a 400lx groupset for my diamondback, for just postage charges 😀 Very good of you mate I appreciate it 👍🏼

It is confirmed to be a 1992 sorrento, thanks for the help id'ing it. Below is a catalogue image from the 92 range.

I think the seatpost is 25.8 or 26.8 so that should probably be about right. How much do you think the delivery would be? Pm me your PayPal please mate

That would be amazing mate. I don't know what seat tube size is, what's the chances the front mech will be the right size? Sean

Exactly, what i think I need is a do or bike. Parts are looking expensive. Gonna see what I can source on the cheap

Thanks, its older than I thought. I never expected to find gold dust here, but it's helpful to have an I'd, as the tt graphics are missing, and having a model year means I can source period correct parts

After a little wipe down, it's really low rust which I'm surprised about. And I'm a big fan of the white effect on the paint, splatter is as 90s as a stone roses album cover :D

I've made a thread In readers bikes with some pictures to start https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/199-diamondback-maybe-sorrento.476728/

Hi everyone. I'm back on this forum after a long departure. I've just pulled this frameset out of the garage from where it's been sat for the last 10+ years. I figure it's time to do something with it Heres the backstory of why i acquired it in the firstplace. One of the bikes I used to ride...

I'm going to dig it out tomorrow and see what I'm working with :)
