1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

83 Silver Streak almost all original survivor

1983 DiamondBack Silver Streak # 3J2573baseball Japan Made.. This was a cheap craigslist score while everyone else was still watching football. Got it from its original owner who said he got it as a kid, and the only thing he had replaced were tires and rims. The grips were spent and the aero seat was held together with duct tape. The rear had a badly damaged sumo rim and the front had a slightly damaged araya w/suzue hub. It has all original Sugino components, seatpost, clamp, cranks, disc, pedals. Original DIA COMPE brakes/lever, DB bars/fork. All decals are there and slightly damaged, even the handle bar sticker and the small DB behind the seat clamp. As I was leaving with the bike the guy ran out and told me he just found the original pad set as well. I got NOS grips the exact same as the ones that came on it. Got a cheap plastic seat at a local used bike store. Finished it off with new tires, freewheel, and Sun super stock triple black rims, hubs and spokes. Due to lack of space and tools brought it to a local bike shop and had it all tuned and regreased. Plan to ride the hell out of it for a while, then maybe sell or trade it.
