1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak
1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak
I bought this bike from my neighbor in 1984 for $25.00 and it hasn't left my side, since. Fully restored back to its original glory.

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak
My very 1st race bike; loved it and I was excited to score an all OG '83 DB SS a couple weeks ago. sweet ride for $25, I sold mine in '83 about 6 months old for $160 and the guy trashed the fork about 2 weeks later.

Stunning Diamond Back! Always like the Diamond Back styling, everything from the looptail to the diamond gussets and cool looking prism decals!

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak
very nice, love these bikes. I am restoring one myself. Am curious about the seat post and the prism reflection, was your original like this?
I think it's really cool and have considered a similar effect on mine.
