    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    It will definitely be back to stock, just fancied a few path rides before I have a few days free in a month or so. Yes it’s turned out to be a strip and service, rather than a long project with finding bits. Just going to check the chain length and ring wear to see if it’s as long mileage as I...

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Forks off clean and sort the elastomers out. Headset bearings are great with no pitting on the races/cups, even though they were dry on the bottom bearings. I don’t think it’s been removed before. Put on some SID’s so it’s rolling and I can ride it once I have cleaned the chain, cassette and...

    Exactly the same…I remember reading a review in Mountain Bike Action magazine and thinking the titanium was unbelievable.

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Soft cloth wipe down and areas lightly cleaned so to access the parts/frame. Really happy with it, frames near mint and everything else can be sorted with a bit of elbow grease. Worried the rings would be caput, but they look great. Though I’ve never seen so much compacted grim in between the...

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    I thought that as I was putting it in the boot. I love how you can piece together what type of person/rider they were. Dork disc, cheap replacement seatpost, semi slick tyres, under seat bag, no chain slap, pump bracket and bell. Basically a commuter that thought as it got older it became less...

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    I think you are, Rings and crank look gunky but plenty of life. X-rays are cracked on the right side but it’s only small and was expecting to replace these with XTR shifters. Fork elastomers have left the fork via dust. Wheels are perfect and frame looks great. It’s basically been ridden as a...

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Promised myself I’d unload the bike and put it in the garage……but my self control is poor, so I took the barends and other accessories off and then smashed a light bulb on the kitchen floor….cue a stern comment from my wife.

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Yes, haven’t done it before, but I like putting in the effort as it makes the reward better for me. It also sat ridiculously well into my life, as I work in an independent school that’s on holiday this week and my twins go to nursery all day on a Wednesday….it was fait!! It’s also a unicorn bike...

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    The pro was a 1995 year bike that had a higher level spec than the TT of that year, but the same frame. Titanium avid cantis, Hugi hubs/217 rims, AC crank, Curve titanium skewers, Titanium BB as the highlights. Christ you’ve had some frames/bike 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Chap was lovely. I thought it was lowball anyway. Think it’s a case of “find another one”. Only things I thinks missing are the seat post and tyres.

    Just picked up a Diamondback Axis TT Pro

    Well I’m a bit excited…like 14 year old getting a new bike, kinda excited. Just driven 4.5hrs to pick up this very original beauty. Only thing not catalogue is the seat post and tyres. Plan to document the strip down, clean and rebuild if anyone’s interested. Now for the drive home.
