1986 Diamondback Cool Streak

Coolest of the (Cool) Streaks.  Sweet almost-all-original cl find.

Saw this listed on cl for cheap and really just wanted it to use the wheels for another project. Was surprised to find it all in pretty good, usable condition. I don't think I'll use it as a rider, as it's super-cramped (18.25" tt) and I'm 6'3". Dia-Compe 890s and 128s and cable-guides with dated (860310D) cables. [pretty nice for an "entry-level" freestyle bike]. Shorter (165mm?) cranks :-( , seatpost crome is a little bit blistered, and there are 2 significant dings (one on top tube, one on the forks) make this not a restoration candidate. Stickers are still in really good shape. So . . . maybe i will scavenge it for parts [?]. Awesome matching chainguard [also came with kickstand and reflectors on the mags - which [i feel] are intolerable so i removed them].
