DB respray Here are a few pics after Ive painted it. The decals are just copy and pasted from the DB site and added in Photoshop. Not too shabby for a first time rattle can job. Cheers :wink:

Easy Rider Dunno if this product graces UK shelves but what Ive used is called: White Knight Rust Guard - Epoxy enamel: Here is the offical blurn c/o back of the can: "Primes the top coat , transforms any rusty surface into a long lasting finish. Combines epoxy enamel modified resins...

The same forks as I have on my 1995 Diamondback Apex.

mine just scares people off I think? :?

The Code of Harry Mate, I and the misses are huge fans. We are onto season 2 via DVD as Australia iseems pre-occupied with spooning the vox popli unremitting live streams from the USA of shite TV rather than highly original dramas such as our Dexter. Are you in law enforcement, as the Yanks...

Ive splashed some paint on the forks - it aint difficult at all. I'm hoping the frame comes up just as well. Will post more pics when done. Cheers Ben

Well I think we have established that it is a mid 90's frame. Perhaps the bike guy got his hands on a replacement 1994, that would logically explain why he replaced it. I'll post some more updates as she comes back to life. Currently on the porch semi stripped. Had a go last night with...

This has turned out to be very interesting. I swear on my dear mothers life that it is a 1995 model, that is when I bought it and it was brand spanking new. Perhaps there were minor spec. and paint colour differences between what DB sold in the southern and northern hemispheres. This will...

Yo Andy Kind offer there. Sort of torn between keeping it speced for off road but the appeal of commuting is winning out. I don't think I am hard core enough for off road stuff anyway. Maybe my shorts arent baggy enough? Oh, I was wrong - the bike does have cantilever brakes. Cheers...

Pickle, Neil & Fatfixie thanks for the comments/input. Neil: no, the bike is definitely a 1995 model. See attached photo. Its partly stripped but you can see that it has a metalic green tint. Just don't call me Doaks... Fatfixie: I'll look into the other brands as I don't want my...

XXXX Well long story short...I originally bought the model below the Apex and the frame snapped after about two weeks.The bloke at the bikeshop rode for DBR and was a bit embarrassed to say the least, so he got hold of an Apex frame for me and bunged all the other gear off the lower model (Axis...

I know I know, another bloody DB post... I have just pulled mine apart after it sat in a mates shed for nigh on three years and have plans to convert it into a commuter/weekend tourer. I am seriously considering putting some Nitto Drop bars on it but still want to run the original STX V...
