1982 Diamond Back Silver Streak

I bought this bike locally off of craigslist from the original owner about a year and a half ago for $100,  most of the bike was intact but it was missing the original brake and seat+seatpost and original rear wheel and most of the decals were gone so it needed alittle work.   it came with the original front wheel but the rim was bent so I replaced it with a front graphite tuff wheel II I had laying around and added a set of red copy snakebelly tires, one spoke is cracked on the graphite but the wheel is still rideable. 
   
the decals for the most part were missing so I added a set of repro gold team issue snake decals since I like the look of these better then the original diamondback II decals.  the original seat tube decal is still there but the original owner had painted it gold and red.  the bike also had the original bars but they were far too small for me so I put them away in a box and added a set of late 80s black gt pro bars.  since the bike had no brake I had added a rear diacompe mx-901.  I then added a late 80s gt layed back seat post with a viscount gt plastic seat.
