1982 Diamondback Silver Streak
1982 Diamondback Silver Streak

Re: 1982 Diamondback Silver Streak
Thanks, Ful. I also have an 83 Silver Streak, but it's just a frame and forks ATM. I'll build it and put it up one day.

Re: 1982 Diamondback Silver Streak
I did the exact same thing 79mongoose. These seemed to be the two bikes around our neighborhood that went head to head. We all use to race each other and the Diamondback almost always came out on top. I use to let friends use my DB to race and they'd win against the other geese. I still love the goose though, but my kid bike was DB Senior Pro. Here they are if you want to check them out.

If you want to know the year of yours, the serial number reads like this:
the first number is the year
the letter is the month
and the rest of the numbers is what production number it was.
Here's an example: 4A0705
This would be 1984, April or August, 705th one made that year.
I picked this up from someone on this site. Sorry I can't remember who so i can give them props.
Good luck with the build.
Hey Fox, looking forward to the next build. I need to do another one again. It's freaking addictive!
