I've seen lots of DB bikes the first years I raced (82-83).
So, it was a must to have one
Here's my 83 Silver Streak powdered in clear blue.
Little different then most Silver Streaks I think, but I like it!

I've 2 plates I could use on the bike, but the "wings" are to large and don't fit with the brake lever
Don't want to cut a NOS plate.....
Thanks all for the comment!

I love it!!!!! Makes me want to pull my finger out and finish my Silver Streak to! The blue looks sick!
I just realized that i don't have a blue bike.....yet.
Some of those blue velcro DiamondBack pads would set that off! I do like the pads you have on it now to... Just 1 question......... Can i have your blue nos Uni seat please???? Heh Heh

No it has that orange to red sticker on the back with blue UNI print.

Here a pic of the BB. It was made by a friends father back in the '80s. It has sealed bearings inside!
