Diamondback Curaca

[rider]

I know fromthose Sram shifters and cantilever brakes that the bike should be within 1991 and 1998 (otherwise diamondback would have gone with V-brakes). But it's not 1996 because the only 700c "trekking bikes" were Malibu and Ambition.
And as low end bike, I guess it goes with a freewheel (no cassette) and cheap hubs and crankset.
So you are telling me it's not a bike for touring, isn't it?

Hello,
I think that owner is telling You truth. By decal design it is from 1998 and even then, they had not every bike with V brakes. IIRC this model was not included in catalogue (at least one I got) ...
Touring part, what other guys said.

Hi all,
I'm looking for more info about this trekking/citybike named "Curaca" by Diamondback. The owner told me he bought it in 1998 but I am pretty sure it's older.
It's 700x41c wheeled, 21 speeds (can't say if on cassette or freewheel), griptshift mrx, can't say about the derailleurs (probably shimano sis) and cantilever brakes (looks like shimano ct-90 but I am not sure about this). The bottom bracket is not a sealed cartridge but an old styled square taper with bearings and cones.
The frame is steel but there are no Tange or Cro-mo tabs... anyway it's printed "made in vietnam" just below the "U.S.A." sticker.

Thanks in advance for any info.

How can I get the sticker that go to the bike
