Beautiful bike!!! Someone was selling Magio's Torker 26" they was raved twice & put up 40 years, but it was $6k, worth it, but way outta my range, my new school builds cost $2k-$3k to complete, old schools are a lil too rich for my blood! 😆
Filming was perfect man. Thats,such a beauty great old school bike...have always loved looptails diamond backs mongoose etc..also the anodising is sweet...great video man🤘👏
A friend back in 1982 had one almost like yours at the time he spent over $1000 part by part till it was completed image how much it's worth today if he keeped brand new still..he hardly rode it..
He has a lot of NOS on that bike. Not to be rude. He'd get 2500 to 3500 if lucky. Alienation handlebars is new school. And those aren't Hutch Bear Traps. Those are shark teeth. You can definatley define Hutch Bear Traps by their radius. Almost like a full circle. And the bodies of the pedals looked like a letter X
I have the same bike with nearly the same color scheme. What color mags would you think look better with those blue gum wall tires? White mags or yellow mags?
I would go with yellow tuff wheels blue gum wall tires, or blue tuff wheels with yellow gum walls. Get the tuff wheels ll's because they come with the freewheel, regular tuff wheels come with a coaster break which were for freestyle, and the tuff wheels ll's(2's) were for BMX racing. I hope that helps.
Hai...Great bike you have there. I am just wandering.... what is the different between 1982 silver streak vs 1982 senior pro? How about the serial number? Is there any different ?
I know that the silver streak is a bit smaller I have two I hit my feet on the front wheel when turning with a normal size crank arm even putting my toes at the edge of the pedals the other diamondback is a bit bigger in length I dont have that problem plus the diamond brace is a little smaller too.
Not much, unless the Reactor won any kind of championship's or major races, or had any famous riders. What makes the 82 so popular is that Jonny Johnson won the Worlds on a 1982 Diamondback silver Streak. Hope that makes sense.

Very nice .I started out racing a diamond back in 1985 . I remember working on the MX stuff 👍
I had one, loved it. Skyway wheeels, GT handle bars, Hutch bear traps……great memories.
I road one of these around Kadena AFB as a kid. 20 miles a day when not in school. Under the runway there were tunnels you could ride in
That's sweet!!! Got something likes that in the 80s.
Thanks for keeping the original decals!
She’s gorgeous
Had a "SICK" lime green with white tires and trim in 1988 back then set my Dad back like $400.00
That is a beauty! Thx for sharing and sparking memories from the early 80's
Absolutely awesome!! Must be fun to ride !!
Love them chains
What kind is it
I remember back in the day my freind had a Diamond Back very nice bikes!! I had a chrome GT Pro Performer which got stolen.

I think you made the right decision with going with the 1 piece crank. Great looking bike by the way.
I remember riding bikes to school and locking them cool 😎
I had one like this I got from a neighbor that moved away when I was a kid had no cushions
sick build
Beautiful bike!!!!!
Three piece cranks are overkill anyway. I like the looks of the mid 90's Haro Fusion one piece cranks the most.
Nice sled!!
I'd pass out if I saw that bike
Certain old bmx bikes are going for up to $8000 on eBay. I don't see why this diamondback wouldn't fetch such a sum as well.

When you cranked that in my mind means your about to do something
Very cool 😎......we need more survivors like that
That chain never seen one like that
Im gonna by one amazing colour combinations grey with blue and red tires 1982 for good price 500 euro! Almost new condition!
Bikes dope !!!
Love it
Bad ass
Dayum.
Nice👍
That’s a sweet ride! Do you ever take it off any sweet jumps?

@@styalrc yes it does thank you🙏🏽
Strange choice of parts, but a great build if you’re not going for originality, and want something cool looking to ride around on.
Hai...Great bike you have there. I am just wandering.... what is the different between 1982 silver streak vs 1982 senior pro? How about the serial number? Is there any different ?
I have know idea. The bike was bought new from Bassett bike shop in 1982.
I know that the silver streak is a bit smaller I have two I hit my feet on the front wheel when turning with a normal size crank arm even putting my toes at the edge of the pedals the other diamondback is a bit bigger in length I dont have that problem plus the diamond brace is a little smaller too.
Subbed . Verynice bike what year?
1982
I got a 1995 I think …… it’s anDiamondback Reactor 7005 heat treat aluminum frame 4130 crmo forks and bars what do you think that’s worth ?
Not much, unless the Reactor won any kind of championship's or major races, or had any famous riders. What makes the 82 so popular is that Jonny Johnson won the Worlds on a 1982 Diamondback silver Streak. Hope that makes sense.
Manso cuadros .
Are unsealed berrings as good as sealed
Sure they are, if you pull regular maintenance on your bike.
What kinda chain is on that beast
KMC Kool Knights half link.

Beautiful bike!!!!!
