Definitely later unthreaded steerer by the decal but not sure about the suspension correction, I’m sure someone knows

I know, they are the worst aren’t they 🤣

My only Diamond Back; a ‘94 Dual Response Photo retrieved from BotM archive many years past 😍

Yes definitely, it’s very hilly round here so keeping me fit, coming back to the UK in a few weeks so hope to get a bit proper Lakes mountain biking in while I’m back 👍

Very kind thanks Not sure there’s anything left that needs cutting or welding unfortunately
