Diamond Back Ascent Ex I Believe its a 1993

[Woodyuk]

Hi

Just Picked up a Diamond Back Ascent Ex I Believe its a 1993 but not 100% sure ?
Its in Pretty bad shape .. So I have stripped it down and now working out what parts are still working and what parts can be put back on the Frame..
Still not decided if to Spray the frame or leave it as?

i would say thats gonna be 1992, the chainset and brakes are the clue.

Just finished my Diamondback Ascent and the more I ride it the more I love it. Mine was in a similar sad state so I stripped down, salvaged most of the parts and had it powdercoated. Polish the frame up the best it will come then decide whether you can live with it.

Here's mine

It's a '93
hard to tell from the pics but the forks and front of the frame are metallic purple fading to gloss black.
just checked in my '93 catalogue
Lovely bike, more pics as you progress please!
