Hi everyone

I built this a little while ago and finally took some pictures. I am a Diamond back fan. I decided to build an early bike and keep the price down. I was inspired by a bike I saw on this site ago time ago. I like it and get a lot of looks when riding it and it doses good skids.

It’s 79 TK Diamond Back frame

WOW, that thing is killer! What a great build... looks like something somebody would have actually ridden/owned in my neighborhood back in the day!

Beautiful job Rohan!

Nice work Rohan, looks clean and ready to ride!

Thanks
And big thanks to people who donated parts. Alway good when someone gives you parts you are looking for?
QuicksilverBMX for the bars/stem and other parts
Waza007 for the frame
Velocidad for the chainwheel
This was the pic I saw

Awsome build Rohan. We need to find a driveway cutout and jump that baby!

Thats coool

EXACTLY.

Nice!

Love the simple, clean builds. Nice job.

Some more

Straight up BMX hardcore right there. Love it!

Old-skull

How did you go with the colour Matt? I'm redoing my '80 Large in the DB blue - did you have a sample to colour match, or did you go as close as you could from pics?

That bike is so perfect, I love it.

killer build. i had a TK back in 1980. that bike was bulletproof. i just found one on ebay a while back that i'm redueing just like my bike from the 80's. TK's are so rear, i have only seen 2 in person, mines from 1980 and the one i just got from ebay.

I just had a guess really. It was Windsor Blue DSH63 Duplicolor



I saw that a grabbed the pics off the ebay as I was trying to find the exact parts.

I did get the part list eventually and got this as well





Some early pics

very nice job well done

Now that is cool. A DB was my first real bmx bike. I never saw a TK before. Really nice build.

Looks great.

Love the Skyway I's.

Been looking for a set of those myself - thought they'd look good on an early PK.

Whoa!!!

How much would you take for it? It's great man.

yeah brah i got that bike from ebay for super cheap in my opinion. i would have paid at least twice that amount. i told the guy to just send the frame forks, seat, seatpost and clamp and the can trash the rest of the bike. i need to find the correct sticker kit. i have most of the parts waiting.

whoa - missed this

nice one RC

Great build, looks like a perfect late 70s thrasher. You gotta be pleased with it

We had the same frame 'n fork in the UK, only it was sold under the Pro-Star name

Awesome build! JD

Thanks Rohan - looks very close.

Its a classic Keeper . A set of blue comp II's would and , grab-on grips with the blue caps would set it off ..

Not much sweeter than a blue 70's DB in my book. Nice job!!
