Diamondback Curaca

[rider]

I know fromthose Sram shifters and cantilever brakes that the bike should be within 1991 and 1998 (otherwise diamondback would have gone with V-brakes). But it's not 1996 because the only 700c "trekking bikes" were Malibu and Ambition.
And as low end bike, I guess it goes with a freewheel (no cassette) and cheap hubs and crankset.
So you are telling me it's not a bike for touring, isn't it?

Hello,
I think that owner is telling You truth. By decal design it is from 1998 and even then, they had not every bike with V brakes. IIRC this model was not included in catalogue (at least one I got) ...
Touring part, what other guys said.
