Hello,

First I would like to thank you all who helped me identify the mysterious B ianchi I posted about some weeks ago. The bike was identified and has now f ound a new owner. It was far too special for my riding needs, it felt like blasphemy commuting with it on our salted, rainy roads.

I have come across a new bike now. A 80's Diamant road frame. As far as I k now it's Belgian. If anyone knows anything more about the tubeset, or the b ike in general, I would be really happy if you could tell me something abo ut it.

Here is all the details I am aware of this far:

Frame: Diamant decals, Columbus frame decal (80´s?), Designer 86, Micro F C-40 decal. Headset and fork: Campagnolo, Nuevo Record? Dropouts: Campagnolo (1010?) Bottom bracket: Cinelli

Bought it from Ebay, apparently never used.

Here are links to the original sellers images:

Thank you very much, it's been interesting and educating reading all the po sts from CR.
