How Much Are Our Diamondback Mountain Bikes Worth?

[Too Old To Bike]

We own two Diamondback bikes. Both were purchased by us new in July of 1991.

The first is a 17" Axis. It was ridden twice and is, other than dust, in like new condition. It still has the nubbies on its tires. It has been hanging upside down in my basement since 1991. It is black with a finish that looks like paint splatters all over its frame.

The second is 19" Ascent. It was ridden about four times and is, other than dust, in like new condition. It still has the nubbies on its tires too. It has been hanging upside down in my basement since 1991. It is orange in colour.

I would like an idea as to what each of these two bikes is worth in today's market. I am in Canada, so a Canadian dollar estimate would be wonderful.

Have a great day!

Hi and welcome!
That sounds like you have two nice gems hanging fro the top of your basement
In order to get a sensible estimation of their value though, it would help to put up a couple of pictures, including some detailed ones of the components on the bikes.
If you have trouble uploading pictures, I bet there are ample people, e.g. some Diamond Back enthusiasts, that are willing to help you out with that.
Or you could indicate to what extent the bikes look like those in the 1991 catalogue: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/6 ... Back91.pdf
Good luck!

Double-E F,

Thank you for your response and for the flyer. I just went downstairs and got the bikes down and took a slew of photos of them.

I have no way of posting photos to the forum, but if someone would offer their e-mail address, I could send them to that individual to have them post the photos for me.

In the Diamondback flyer, the Axis is like the one pictured at the top of page 5. The Ascent is like the one pictured at the bottom of page 6.

The photos that I took include years of dust and cobwebs. Both bikes would clean up like new.

Thanks again and have a super day!
