1984 Diamondback Turbo Lite

Aussie Road Kill!

Recent hard rubbish find !!!! Sadly missing the Leary Cranks ..... Bugger!

The frame was wrapped in shrink-wrap hence the decals being virtually untouched, shame about the Sumo ( Araya lookalikes ) rims and Suzie hubs suffering from damp garage syndrome, Diacompe brakes ( look like the road 'G' series minus the G and stamped ’86 so must be a later addition as the bike had some obvious none standard bits …  I had to take the 110mm crappy kids crank set and plastic chain guard off the bike before taking any photos rather than risk the hardcore DB lovers issuing threats or being physically sick LOL!!!! ) … MX levers, Nitto MX5 stem and DB CRMO bars mean that this puppy is light, light , LIGHT!

Tange Aero headset and SR pin clamp look standard …great find soon to be offered to the ebay gods ….. happy days!
