Diamond Back '84 Formula One Build

[@chrishuntsman8838]

My first bike was a huffey.. but it served its purpose till I was able to save up enough money to get the mongoose bluemax.. That was a cool bike, but it wasn't as cool as all the GT's, Redlines and Better Mongoose bikes in town. The Formula I came out and NOBODY had a Diamond back in my little town. Having the F1 was my dream. By god, I had it by the end of the summer. That was a lot of lawn mowing, but when I rolled up on the F1 finally. I was a GOD! I was a little guy already, so, having the F1 complemented me well. I could get mad speed quick and insane air once I mastered the bike. I loved it. That was 37-38 years ago.. One of my favorite days in my life. :)

My first BMX style bike was a 1981 Huffy ProThunder 3 always wanted a DB when I saw then in a BMX shop, remember seeing a black Fuji BMX I like also.

You have a lot of cool 80s stuff, the intro looks old, it’s awesome, almost threw me off until I spotted the Jordan 1s that didn’t come out until 85. Your bikes are amazing, love the bmw videos

[@LoopDoc]

And the blinds lol

[@evisceratednation]

Another 80s treasure saved from impending doom. Love these build videos!

[@tommyrose553]

I haven't even watched the whole entire video yet the intro like a VHS tape the Walkman BMX Plus all that is enough to make me subscribe already can't wait to start watching oh and I have a 82 Silver Street and an 84 Viper

[@duncanh6045]

The intro was me as a teenager, spot on!

[@matthewhahn3832]

This is an awesome video.

[@MattHallJava]

This is great!! My first real BMX bike was a 1984 Formula One. My parents bought it new for $350. I sold it in 2004 for $250. It was still in great shape! Mine had chrome wheels with spokes instead of mag wheels though. Great video.

[@73richg]

I had the Super Viper chromoly frame. So many haters with their bikes from Toys R Us used to tell me it was fake lol.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I was lucky enough to have this bike in 1985,brand new, I never saw another in the UK

[@maddoxburr6576]

[@shawnhash9163]

[@pb6972]

Where can I get original Diamondback parts

[@savedbygrace8030]

Hello Ed, quick question for you..... how do you read the serial number on a Diamond Back ? Meaning how do you know the year and line of Diamondback by looking on the serial number.

[@johnnyforriester7325]

Where did you get DB decals? My son's wanting to restore my 83 DB Formula one and I can't seem to locate a set. Any guidance would be appreciated!

[@818richardrajic]

R u selling any 80's old school bmx bikes?🤔

[@therealflamelit]

if you told me what you paid, Id believe you- I bought a 87 GT performer from a kid riding down the street on it one day for less than 100 bux ...this was about 2 yrs ago...got a mongoose kick scooter from same kid ..30 bux :)

[@theroadhome7608]

Hey man! I just found a 1984 thrasher bike in good shape but I'm new to rebuilding and restoring on my own... I was wondering if I could email you/ message you with some questions?? Thanks! :)

[@jkm253]

[@eddier84]

Awesome build man. Where can I get these decals I found a 84 Diamond back pacer 500 and I want to build it.

[@JimEdHardaway]

I found 'em on eBay... there's a dude out of Australia that makes and sells 'em.

[@charlesgraham9954]

[@isaaczermeno8488]
