It needs to be 80's to be vintage because that's when it was the freshest.
I'm 54 and throughly enjoyed your build on this Gen 1 Diamondback I've still got mine chrome gen 1 hanging on the wall along with a Gen 1 GT and Redline my Kids ride them now and get a lot of comments 😊
Only thing I would do differently is put a regular chain. Everything is period correct except for that half link
One of the best looking BMX, I love that it's Japanese
Gotcha bitttchhh 😂
feel good friday fam! hope you're well and in good health! thanks again for the many years my friend
super gorgeous. just like how I saw a few in the 80's. I don't think I ever saw the hidden seat clamp. great work Phu.
Black & Chrome DB "Old School BMX" Awesome bike!!!..
Class channel phu...keep the old schools comin🤘
That thing is lit bro!
Love the old school
The best thing about buying a BMX Frame in the 1980`s is that the Forks were also included. Why is this now not the case ?
Nice. Reminds me of my first BMX. Same Diamondback but in blue. Love the builds. Keep em coming Phu
I would like to see more stuff on your car and or rare car parts you have collected that would be dope
Need more daily uploads. pls and ty
That’s a sweet build Mr Miyagi, keep pumping out these sweet videos 🤙🏾
Work of art 👌
Gorgeous build
Wow this bmx is so clean!!❤
That bike is beautiful! I remember when those were new when I was a little kid. That was my dream bike as a kid.
Beautiful wall hanger. Looks really small for me, but it's a good looking bike for sure.
Love it! Always flip my seat post clamps as well. Cleaner look
Nice Diamondback !!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
You guys run a great Channel, informative and entertaining both, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Man that setup is Epic!
Awesome intro, beautiful bike. Bear trap headset was a game changer. Love whole build
I like it. Got to say the half link isn't period, but personally I think they add that special pop to the overall build so it gets a pass. Overall build Excellent!!!
Sick! 🎉
love for u guys
very nice indeed chrome diamond back , classic
Beautiful looking bike 👌🏼
That's a sweet build/bike 👌🏽
Looks similar to bike frame I use to have thank you guys. I had a DB frame w GT parts all chrome. Nice hook up Phu
First time I've seen the rail clamp tucked like that! First time I've seen double fork ends too!! Nice!
Nice build Shop Owner. I am absolutely bonkers for that bike✊😎💯.
Been riding bikes all my life since 88 and never seen someone or done that seat rail trick. 🤯
Nice looking bike!
It's good to know you guys can refinish a frame. I've been looking for a Diamondback.
25 years old to be vintage. Cars, bikes and motorcycles
Beautiful chrome. Nice ..rad shop
Beautiful build: one of my BMX’s as a kid was a Black and chrome Diamondback: I was a “Rocker”. Lol the the “Guido’s” always rode the Chrome and Red, or theChrome and blue’s. looks dope. 💫
Yo ! love it ! nice build !i'm working on a 1983 silver streak, i got a ton of questions
Awesome vlog and job bro...bike looks amazing, apart from them god damn awful grips, on the bar's....anything from the 80s, is old school 🏫....massive respect 🙏 🫡
cooking a bagel in the restroom is wild af
Looook’s great!
Those grips look like those red boots that been floating around the internet lately 😂
Love these old bikes. Just don't love how heavy they were. 😁
I rode that in 81'!!!!! God bless my parents!!!
Finally watched the whole thing, man that is such a nice mint old bmx build.:) Those grips are odd hahaa
Never seen a bike with hologram stickers, but this one looks awesome with them.
Sup with that car. Thats dope
that's a good lookn bike dude
Bike looks GREAT!!!! Anyone ever come across Diamond Back 3-piece cranks? I had a pair, back in the mid 80's, and they were pretty nice.
awesome build!!
is the anodizing by Jenco?
🐐
She's looking very nice! :-)
My old man used to do old Schwinn's back in the 90's.
I Inherited close to a dozen old school new stock never used ACS Stoker bike pedals. End caps are immaculate and most even have reflectors.
Those grips! I’d love to know more about those!
Ogk cobra
Hi please do a step by step bottom bracket,and crank install.
Bad ass!
Looks great, I would have found bigger bars though. Some new school 10 inchers would make for a much more comfortable ride.
Dang it !.. If my bike was longer I'd of won that race 😆
I've tucked the seat guts since the late 80's. The square shaft used to stick out and scratch my legs. 80's shorts were short. I never did it for looks.
Ive always flipped the seat clamp guts the same way….. I think I stumbled across it one time when I didn’t put it back together “correctly”
No hater’s dude
Thanks for keeping real. Burnt bagel 😢
Taiwan is the pacer 84 plus, Silver streak is Japan 83
Are 1st Gen DB decals available?? Any links?
Yo nice those grips are "Cobra".. because of the end looks like a Cobra when it's going to strike..
Also you guys should make some stickers small and wide enough to go along a bike top or bottom tube and that say “GOTCHA B*TCH” on the them. 😂 or shirts. Epic bmx racing or epic race squad on the front and “GOTCHA B*TCH” on the back for when you pass someone in a race. That’d be fire
I tuck the seat bolts on all OG bikes
All it needs is a red snap padset.
Is there a way to chrome our frames without ghetto spray paint
Vintage... When I was a boy I fell of my Penny Fathing pulling nose mannys! Not! 🤣I had a Mongoose Moto and a Diamondback back in the day, not got either now... My Mongoose was stolen 😭 and the diamondback I eventually snapped the frame with a heavy landings, ramps and tabletops. Too front forward and landed really heavy into the bars and almost scrapped my face off in the gravel too 🤪.
😎🤘
Hi, came across this channel. Hoping to get some help 🙏 pls..
I have an old moto 1 bmx bike, that belong to my brother(rip) . I am trying to restore & fix it up. But umm I'm wondering if i could put some thicker tires then the ones it originally has. 20x1.25. & what inner tube size to get with it. what else or tips I would need to help get this bike started.? Scared to leave it at a bike shop for maintenance. I'm trying to keep it as original as possible. Frame, sprocket, etc.. thank you ! 😊
Daaaaamn, that thing is butta
This bike is now available on a bmx museum, at a highly inflated price,near you now!! Hahahah looks good phu, nice build! To bad thise old diamond backs are so dam short,even the "long" models.
Do they sell builds like this at the shop?
Owner should've got red anodized bb cups,also left bars chrome.I got a 1980 DB long pro double dropout forks original decals but does need OA bath
I wish there was a bike shop like epic bmx in my town. Man honestly I wish there was any bike shop around me. There’s one like 3 cities away and it’s not for bmx really they only have like one or two usually and it’s just a mountain and race bike shop. It’s a “cyclist” shop lol. They have no bmx shops around here no where to even get bmx parts in person besides Walmart.. it’s actually depressing. I’m sick of buying bike parts on Amazon and dans comp I’d rather give back to a shop ran by some cool passionate people like you guys who really know their stuff
Same bro... Same. I get all my parts online. Stay safe.
Bad ass DB!!!
Vintage is 80’s and 70’s NOT THE 90’s and 00’s !! THAT IS MID SCHOOL GUYS !!!
What is the spindle width. I'm rebuilding my 81' silver streak with sugino mighty. I know its a campo. I can make it work. Just not sure the width. On the spindle. One piece to three conversion
Those grips look upside down?
The fresh red anodizing and chrome job just looks so bad a$$! Glad he didn't get it powder coated.
Is that a viper or silver streak 1 or 2 ?
I like how Phu spreads knowledge, but will also take a second to tell people so smarten up with the bickering and nonsense.
It's almost like he's a dad or something.
Do you guys remember Scorpion bmx?
The guts always go up under the seat.
Had a Diamondback till I got my 85 Robinson, I would have gone with a chromoly seat post though and better cranks.
Who does the anodizing??????????
What does it cost to re-chrome a frame
Google
I HAVE A 1979 OLD SCHOOL DIAMOND BACK BMX BIKE FRAME MINT CONDITION!! ANYONE INTERESTED!??
You’re right, you don’t know.
Serial #’s on the bottom are not China, but rather Taiwan which actually makes decent products, unlike China.
VERY RAD!!!!
For some reason I think I owed a Diomand back. I don't know why, because my rich parents had a pathological hatred of kids and their fads. They always bought me the sh'tty version of everything. I had a Team Murray from Target.
I think my first bike with training wheels was a Murray. lol
ACYUALLY THE DID THIS FOR DIFFERANT CIRCLE RACES
What's wrong with the hate message??😮😞
IF YOUR LEFT HANDED BRAKES SHOULD BE ON THE ON THE OTHERSIDE ALSO IF THE BIKE IS JUST FOR SHOW THIS FINE I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU HAD TO CLEAN OFF THE PAINT SO HANDLE BARS WONT SLIIP THIS WOULD BE MORE ORIGINAL
The brake cable is too long and the stem is too low.
