1983 Diamondback Silver Streak

This is my daily rider.

Dude, I love this bike!! I bought off a friend and fellow Museum member a couple of weeks back and am in the process of building it to look just like the 80's ad. Thanks blkout619! It's an '83 because the serial # is 3D1713 baseball symbol according to OS-DB.NET. SWEEET!! Even the forks have a serial #! This bike turns heads when I ride it down my block! It's like my neighbors have never seen a bike like it before!
PARTS!
* Original frame serial # 3D1713 baseball and forks serial # baseball 3ET.
* Original chrome.
* Diamond Back/Sugino gooseneck.
* Diamond Back pedals and seat (still looking for MKS Diamond Back pedals and Aero seat).
* Tange head seat
* New school Diamond Back bars (have Pro size CW bars being shipped to me soon but would like Pro size Diamond Back bars!)
* CW layback seat post (have fluted black seat post but like the lay backs!). 
* Old School seat clamp (have original SR seat clamp but currently being restored!)
* Sugino 175mm one piece cranks, spider and chainring (have 181mm Harry Leary Turbo 3 piece cranks. just waiting for black Sugino 44 tooth chainring to come in!).
* 90's Sun Ringle Hubs laced with black spokes to Sun BFR wheels (have ACS large flange hubs year 1981 laced to Araya 7x rims but spokes need to be replaced! Plus this is my rider!)
* Kenda Comp III tires by Giant 20 x 1.75.
* Unknown brake levers (came with bike. looking for Tech III levers).
* Izumi chrome chain 
* Dia-Compe BullDog brakes front/back (looking for MX1000 front/back!)
* New school Diamond Back Grips (getting Fuan Cobra Style shipped soon!)
* Repro Silver Streak Stickers.
* Need repro Silver Streak pad set and Diamond Back number plate by Haro or ZeroNine number plate to make this build complete!

Re: 1983 Diamondback Silver Streak

Hi 09mikeydread,

Very nice. smile

3D1713 equates to 1983, batch D, build 1713, so it would not be a 1982 frameset.

I can't imagine I would have said 1982 for a 1983 frameset wink

Re: 1983 Diamondback Silver Streak

Killer DB bro. I'd love to build one someday.

One of my great friends back in Chi-town had one while I had my 81 PK Ripper.
I was stoked for him but I wanted a new DB also big_smile

Sweet build

Re: 1983 Diamondback Silver Streak

Right on, I'll keep you in mind if I plan of letting any rides go. I'm starting to run out of space for them in my garage & shed.
