1982 Diamondback Senior Pro

82 Senior Pro Restore I completed - Sold

Bike came to me from out in the desert, California or Nevada somewhere! Was in rough shape but had most of the original parts... came out nice...

I wish I could keep them all! Thanks for the Feedback, I had fun building it. This is what I remember Diamondbacks looking like in our neighborhood back in the day!!!! The chrome gleamed, ano parts everywhere, Cal Lites and 3 piece cranks...I had to build one!

I have a handful of the chain protectors still NOS in the bag... I was starting to think no one else remembered these things, I knew guys that had them in the 80's and always thought they were kinda cool.
Thanks,
Bri

WOW, great looking Bike. The color scheme is well balanced. You did a great job restoring it. Do you have any pic of what it looked like before you re did it?
.Forgot to mention the chainguard.. I forgot about those until I saw it. I had black one on my DB back in 83, although it did last long, but it was cool when they first came out.

Thanks, I really enjoyed building this one...
I did not take before and after pics...wish I would have!

Yeah the Chain protectors did not work as well as they claimed but looked pretty cool!

I sooo want one of these. I have a line on one locally but he is hesitant to give it up.

Yeah, It was a really fun project! I thought it turned out really nice! I sold it to fund other projects.
Keep looking you will find one. They come up fairly often.
