Re: 1985 Diamondback
this bike could be a 1984/85 super streak aba NO. 1 factory team diamondback and the reason why I say that is because of the top gusset it is smaller then it usally is I just got one of these bikes and im building it up, thats just my opinion I could be wrong though thanks Pat!!!

Whoever painted that CRX that color and put red wheels on it should be taken around to the back of the house and beaten to death with a mackerel.

Re: 1985 Diamondback
I'd check the serial first, could be on the underside of the bottom bracket, but a hunch tells me it might be on the inside of the left rear dropout 
From there you can use this link to identify the model.

Re: 1985 Diamondback
I'm almost 100% sure that the downtube decal is from a 1987 Silver Streak. I'm looking at the actual catalog from 1987 and it's an exact match. But the weld plates between the top tube and downtube date it a bit earlier. Good luck, pretty cool ride though.

Re: 1985 Diamondback
I had those downtube decals on my 1987 Viper, but it had no head tube gussets. Best bet is using serial number and comparing with the DBs posted here.
Good luck.
I didn't even look at the dates on this thread. I'm sure you figured it out by now.
