1983 Diamond Back Formula 1

Fantastic Racing Bike

I had one of these back in the day and now I had made it a priority to build one up. You see see my racing plate that I won in 1984 on the bike.

Picked up most of the parts from ebay over the past few months. At the moment it sports a set of Araya high flange wheels however I just picked up a geniune set of wheels that I will restore and fit to the bike.
