Sold Diamond Back Axis 1989 Frameset SOLD

[slimjoe]

This as been hung up in my living room for way too long. Too small for me to ride so I’m going to release it from captivity!
It measures 16” centre to centre which is a Diamond Back 16” or a small. 17” centre to top. Top tube measures 21” and the head tube is 100mm.
Plenty of age related patina on this but would look ok built up with a few bits of paint touched up. Comes with the original fork and XT headset. Original brake calipers too. This was pretty much a top tier bike in 89 apart from the Axis Team which was super rare.
I’d like £65.00 posted to UK for this. PayPal payment SOLD

Lovely! Cracking paint jobs on late 80s DB's and got to love a tapered straight bladed fork. GLWS!

That's actually my size... lalalalalalalala!!!

Cracking good frames these and cracking good price. Someone needs to snap that one up quickly.

My first taste of a high end mountain bike was a ‘89 DB Axis I rented in North Wales…

I remember drooling over the magazine adverts for these. Sweet frame.

My first proper mtb was an 89 axis. I bought a 19inch which was always too big. Very tempted by this, but probably a bit small.

Thanks to whoever bought this beautiful bargain frameset... YOU have saved me from getting into BIG trouble!!!

Twas me! Going to build up as a rider and race at Malvern 2025 if I’m fit!

So, so close to buying it and a proper bargain as includes canti's, BB, headset, seatpost QR and guide... Good luck with the build and hopefully I'll be able to make it to the Malvern's 2025 too...
