I do like a bit of Diamondback. 👍

Interesting as these bikes never came to my attention at the time. How I missed them is puzzling me. 🤔

Just following along out of curiosity.

Just bought that on eBay for £9.99. I thought at that price it's worth a punt. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315897007050

Alas the owner of the bike isn't replying, so it looks like it could be a dead end.

Had a little 8m trip this morning to pick up the van after a service. Decided to take the Marin Palisade. This was rebuilt about 2019 and painted to match the van...AA yellow! It's a parts box mix of XT, and Deore. Riser bars and squishy saddle for City riding comfort.😂

You are indeed correct. I have headset spanners. In essence I have the essentials for everyday servicing, just now popping together the "frivalous" bits. :LOL:

@bikeworkshop that made me chuckle.:D

I was only looking for mudguards! I have just asked for more info from the seller, but in the meantime anybody have any clues? It's not what I would normally look at, but with winter coming and it already having mudguards.....oh and I liked the saddle and handle bars.:)

Chees for that folks. Very helpful. 👍

Ohhh folllowing with interest. :D

@markoc "Oh, and when using a removal tool, pop a zip tie (or a number of them linked) through the head tube and headset so when it is freed it doesn't shoot across the garage/workshop/kitchen/garden at an alarming speed." :LOL: Noted!

So the as the title says. For servicing my stuff at home over the years I have just stripped, cleaned, regreased and go again. But I may be getting to the end of this process. So with the possibilty of a few bikes needing new headsets I thought I might look at the right tools for the job. I am...

Any questions / anything I have missed, just ask. 👍
