1978 Diamondback MX Build all Finished.!!

Well the last piece to this build finally came yesterday, and they were well worth the wait.. Of course it was the custom pads I ordered along with some others for the wife's build.. But now that they are on the build, I can finally say this one is DONE!! Pretty stoked on how it came out, and super glad to be able to say I own one of the earlier and rarer DB's.. These aren't turning up really anymore, so when I got the chance to grab one, I didn't even hesitate on buying it..

Now I know this build isn't all "ERA" correct, and I could care less.. So to the purists, I say sorry.. roll  and to the "Haters" I say keep "Hatin'".. lol But this is what I had envisioned from the get go, and now it's mine to cruise the hoods and shows.. So I hope you can still enjoy it as much as I am now.. I think it's pretty sick looking and was a ton of fun putting it together over the last 4 months or so.. big_smile

This is what I started with...

Re: 1978 Diamondback MX Build all Finished.!!

As much as I dig the pics I would love to see more that are brighter and detailed.

It really is a great looking bike and I love the tires.
