1988 Diamondback Axis

Retro Newbie
Thought I’d share my 1988 Diamondback axis. I bought it new and never got rid of it Just ordered a crank set with non Biopace chainrings off EBay. The fork was replaced in 1991 after a night time BMX track mishap.

I love old DB's. It's a shame about the fork, it deserves an attempt at a colour match if you are fond of the old girl.
 
Yeah tough color match with the smoke finish and all. Ive been commuting on it a lot. I recently did a re-cable and put on bullhorn bars.

My main concern now is keeping the 6 speed Uniglide freehub in good shape. I turned up a 17 tooth rear cog To replace one with a couple broken teeth. Some of these parts are getting hard to find, but most have been fine.
