| What are the most desireable Diamondbacks? When were the first ones produced? I'm new to BMX. Thanks for any information on these. |
| I remember the first ones to reach the shores of the UK back in about 1981 or 82. The " Viper " was the base model. It was HEAVY. I think it had Reynolds tubing. They retailed for 150 pounds, ( about 250 dollars ? ) |

| i just picked up a complete diamond back today that i`m unsure of. it has almost cartoon style decals with the letters bein all different sizes and different colored triangles in the background facing different directions. it does say " F/W VIPER " on the chainstays but nowhere else. it also has " cromolly/hi-ten " decals on the seatmast. it was sold originally in the prtland oregon area at a local shop, not a mass market thing. if anyone can help with the approximate year/model i would greatly appreciate it, thank you. |
| also have a pretty basic chrome frame that has a round " racing certified " decal on a small folded head gusset that sits between the top and down tubes. it also has the serial # stamped sideways on the side of the haedtube. it came with crome forks that have decals " WH " in white on the legs but i dont think there original to the frame. if you can help me to identify any of these items, please LMK, thanks. |
| It sounds like an older Huffy Pro Thunder frame . Does the front gusset look the same as a thruster ,but with out the holes drilled ? If so it is a pro thunder ! |
| Ok, now that i`ve identified the frame, I need stickers for it. If anyone has the sticker set for this Huffy Pro Thunder frame, please LMK. And thanks for your help. |
| Mike- I would say that your Viper is from 1987. They had that "ransom note" look to the sticker packs, I thought it was pretty cool. I think that Diamond Back was trying to update their image (after a LAME first generation freestyle bike), and with Woody Itson and Mike Dominguez on the freestyle side of things it worked. The Viper was their lower end BMX model, with a tri-moly frame (half cro-mo, the rear end hi-tensile steel). Entry level machine, but still cool. The Viper is still around, only in a little more hopped up version... http://www.diamondbackbmx.com/viper.html Hope this helps, Mike |
| I picked up a set of 70's Tuff 1 wheels for dirt cheap and i am trying to get a free whell put on i can have one put on in bike sops cuz they say its old technology please email me with an answer rnorton13@hotmail.com |
| Hello, I think you may have to use a conversion kit. There was a special peice that worked with the guts of a coaster brake, and had threads for a freewheel. I recall installing one in 1982. |
| I found a couple stickers for a CW Racing california freestyle this weekend. the package had been opened, so I think the set isn't complete. Some wrinkling from the guy having it tossed in a box with other stuff, but they should still go on ok. A scan is at www.mindspring.com/'sblackstone/cw.jpg I need parts for a Murray Motorcross, especially a headbadge sticker. A picture of a motorcross is at www.mindspring.com/'sblackstone/murraymotorcrossflyer.jpg it might help identify some of the parts if you have some around. I'd like to swap for the headbadge sticker if anyone has one, but an offer of some other part used or otherwise, or cash would be ok too. Steve |
| interested in finding out the year of production, & if there is a market for this ride(worth restoring), without its reflectors or pads. black & yellow oval badge, chain guard, everything is original, yellow lettering/water decals alittle scratched |
| Is there any way to tell the date a Torker frame was made from the serial # ? PLMK ! Thanks |
