DiamondBack Axis 1994

Here it is in its first build. Will inevitably tinker over the coming months. Magura brakes might be an option. Mix of old and new.

i heart diamond backs

my first proper MTB was a diamondback

anyone got a mid-sized sorrento in marbley colour they did 1995 or so? i foolishly resprayed mine badly then skipped it when it was taking up too much space

decals?

JustKev · Oct 30, 2007

looks a great build Ed! As Amey' said, get some decals on there - sweet!

Looking good Ed, how do you find the amp forks on there?

I've just put some F2s on my '95 Vertex and I reckon it works really well.

Yeah love the F3's - only been on one proper ride on them so far, once preload was sorted they were great.

Decals: what would they have looked like originally? Like those on the TT? If so then I might do it, otherwise I like the mystery. People will be trying to work out what it is

oh yes, the other thing - should I stick with black outer chainring or go with a pewter Pace one that I have or a blue Middleburn?
