I've recently acquired a beautiful Greg Diamond. It may be on topic, as I believe he was building in the early 80s, but at the very least it should be considered KOF. It'd be interested in learning more about Diamond and the frames he produced. There's an entry for him on the CR website, but alas there is yet to be any information published. I'd be happy to provide my photos to that section of the website.

The little information I've learned online (and here in the CR archives) is that Diamond was building out of Santa Barbara in the late 70s/early 80s, and that he passed away in the mid 80s.

I'm happy to provide more photos and any information I can gather from the frameset in my possession. Photos can be found in this bikeforums thread (no login required to view photos):

I'd provide a direct link to the photo album, but photobucket won't allow free members to share specific folders with the public. I can however provide a list of direct links to indivdual photos if you prefer.

Thanks,
