I replaced the shifters with Shimano Gripshifts, so they look the same as the original. The whole bike looks as it did when I bought it - except the saddle - which is now a padded wide saddle.
I can post someone pictures tomorrow. I had a few years away from mountain biking and when I started again 18 months ago, I bought a new bike. I had intended to use the Diamondback as a 'shopping' bike - but I hardly used it.
Yes most on here have spent time away from cycling so your not on your own their mate and just using the diamondback just for trips to the shops is okay but your really missing out by leaving it to one side but any how i look forward to the pics ..
I've just realized I made a mistake in the post title - it is in fact a Diamond Back Racing Vertex not Ascent. I'm going to start another thread with the details correct and some pictures.
