My queue was arranged such that a black Diamond Back came before the red one. This one is from 1990, has no decals, and very dated white spatter on black.
I stuck a Trek fork on it and have assembled a motley crew of Shimano components. The crown jewels are the XT thumbies - not in good enough condition to be sold on eBay but certainly good for a 21 speed MTB commuter.
I need to get a decent seatpost for it - the only one I have that fits is a bit small and steel. With all the other alloy components, it deserves better.
A few days back I picked up two freebie bikes - one pretty rough, was abandoned - a Sears-sold Jeep frame. I've cannibalized it for consumables and will likely cut it up for scrap. I don't want to sell another liability!
