The red Diamond Back isn't nearly so much of a nice bike. Stamped horizontal dropouts and a heavier frame make me sure it's a later model, perhaps made by a holding company who bought the name. Oh well, it's not terrible, and the single-lever STI rapid fires are unusual.
I also collected another donor bike for overhaul, it's a low end Canadian Tire bike. "Falcon" components look like copies of Shimano's cheap stuff, or maybe it is produced under license? I don't know.
It has steel rims (ugh) but very little wear or rust. I will probably tune it up on the cheap and take it to the OBB swap meet.
