1981 Diamondback II
1981 Diamondback II
Nice cruising around bike
I put this bike together with odds and ends I had left over from Ebay and local flea market purchases. I wanted to have some daily riders where I could take em to the local track and not worry about getting them dirty. I always loved the Diamond back bikes ..probably my favorite with Redline being second in line. This bike I used a pair of Skyway tuff II's I had from 1986 that are sky blue and bolted most of the blue parts I had sitting around. Bike really moves and it handles really well.

Yeah I was thinking the same at first but I wanted to break up the all blue pattern I was headin into. I got to put a front brake on it cos it don't stop very well. Must be the mags cos the caliper stopped the Redline it was bolted on before.

Thanks Cadillac, I originally was saving these parts for a Thruster frame I bought to accent the two tone color scheme... but the chrome unfortunately was really just worn out. So I tried them onto this F&F set and it turned out nice. Glad I kept these vintage SkyWays :-)
