Day one;

I hope I am doing the right thing

I dint ride my modern Specialized Tricross enough and it gathering dust doing nowt.

I picked this little beauty up a few weeks back for spares but after some thoughts I am going to use it as an everyday ride that I can not worry about. I will be selling my Tricross and want to keep this.

My Aim is to keep it as retro as possible apart from the consumable items as I have come to the conclusion that if I run 7 or 8 speed it gets tricky for chains and cassettes so will use a 9 speed drive train (cassette, shifters and chain)

The bike came with odd wheels that were past their best so the LX black Mavics I had hanging up now have a perfect home.

I will post some more pics up when the rain stops as my camera is pants for taking indoor shots :? The frame is deep red and not faded red / pink :shock:

Cheers

thats bloody lovely that is!

Try a daylight photo without the flash and the colour will come out right I'm sure

diamond back

Really like that

the DX bits will work perfectly with a 9 spd cassette/ chain/ shifters before any arguments break out about mm's and chain width.

Would look something like this.

Now gone to another home

Thats the Puppy

retro bikes without suspension look way cool.

Like that alot fella !! I had the Axis in black with white splatter from that year but only for 2 weeks then it got nicked and never seen again !

Cant beat a good diamondback!

Tis the snizzle...as i believe the' kids' say
