Show us your Diamond Backs!!!

very nice 1x conversion is that an 11-50? great looking bike, that bench doesn't look too comfortable though, best used as a bike stand
Thanks. Bought it completely original (even with the brahma bars) in nearly mint condition but prefer a modern 1x setup so converted it. I can honestly say it's the nicest geometry out of any bike I've owned, mainly due to the extra long top tube compared with other 21-23" c-c bikes I have, so I ride it more. Yeah, 11-50t cheapo cassette that seems to be built to a decent standard although time will tell.
 
This was a bike I owned in the early 2000’s. I loved this bike. The paint job was great. Unfortunately this was stolen when I lived in Colchester.
Never seen one since.
very nice one, technically with that frame with CNC yoke, and style-wise because of the nice color.

I’ve always wanted a titanium bike and a bike with pink on it. I have a TT pro……and now this beauty (1993 ascent EX) turned up 10 minutes from my door.

When I say beauty, I mean it will be a beauty!
Needs new decals (anyone know where to get a set from?), seat (biggest seat I’ve ever seen), t-bone stem and a very good clean/touch up! The removal of a kick stand and dork disc will also happen.
