1990 Diamondback Topanga

[chrisv40]

I picked this up from Weeman at the Peaks ride and was immediately happy with it despite it seeming too small for me.

As soon as I got it home I ordered a 400mm black seat post for it and now it fits me just fine.

The bike is completely original apart from some black Stx cantis and a new bottom bracket fitted by Weeman and it is in incredibly good condition, the frame looks as if it has just left the shop.

First ride today and it went really nicely, a lot of weight in the wheels and tyres which shows but for a nice Saturday morning bimble its absolutely perfect

Does look like it came right off of the showroom floor. Very nice

Lovely indeed, I like that a lot. A real time capsule.

That Topanga is as, had one as my first proper MTB in that same colour scheme, did crazy miles on it and changed rims, bars, forks and gearsets (XT thumbshifters FTW!) and eventually the colour :facepalm: over the years. Loved that bike

Good stuff
