All original . Gift from Hubby right before we tied the knot. Never ridden as i am sick but he rides like mad. Not this bike though he rides a cannondale. At any rate, things are such now he has never let me sell it . We paid 584 new at Geary Bicycle shop in San Francisco. I say 1989 he says 1988. he is probably right. It says Diamondback Ascent on it and is a sort of mottled or marbled lovely purpley and grey tan ish colors? all oringinal shimano and other parts. Umm I have no idea of its worth. Hubby says not a thin be lucky to get a few euros. Any thoughts? Things are quite bad finacially else I would not dream of it. It is sentimental see. Never even been ridden.[/b]
