This Diamond Back MX wears its original paint and decals. I purchased this f/f from a gentleman who just picked it up from the original owner. Handed down from father to son it was stored in garage with early 80's parts. However, it did still had the tuff wheels I's, headset and bb hardware that it came with from the bike shop it was originally purchased from back in 1977. The forks are original MX forks with an early repair on the dropouts or maybe even a prototype. Either very interesting! Oh and if this all isn't cool enough......this '77 MX survivor is serial #015 A true piece of early Diamond Back and BMX history.

1977 Diamond Back MX Forks
comedianmike replied to comedianmike's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Maybe...You would think it would be smaller though. Looks the same size as a regular hole would of been. What got my attention is they look just like MX forks just not complete or maybe intended to be this way, I don't know. Plus, the fact they are on an '77 MX numbered 015. Who knows?- 4 replies

I recently acquired a 1977 Diamond Back f/f from the original owner's son. Bike has original black paint along with decals. even still wears the shop decal from where it was originally sold. Now I have heard some '77 MX were sent out with '78 decals sometimes being how they produced both 77/78 within a few short months. This MX is especially rare being how is it #015. Yes, the 15th Diamond Back made. Now, if you know about early DB's you know what their double dropout forks look like. Now being how these forks are original to the frame are they DB's? Maybe, a mistake fork that never was completed? Was this intentional? Maybe a rider or someone from shop wanted them this way? Or even a prototype? What do you all think? have you ever seen these? Can you identify them? Any help would be great. Thank you for your time. I have added photos of original '77 &'78 forks along with a photo of mine. please compare and let me know what you think.

Made in the USA - Early Diamond Back
comedianmike replied to Tazturtle's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Nice thanks!! I’m trying to gather all the ads and info I can about these early Diamond Back f/f. I just picked up another ‘77 MX frame very low serial #015. Picked it off the original owner. It belonged to his dad and was handed down to his son from who I picked it up from. The forks have me very curious. I’ve never seen anything like them and they are original to the frame. I’m thinking might be a prototype being how it has a very low serial. -
Oh cool!! I’ll check it out. Thanks for the help

I really enjoyed all the information I've read. Thank you. Its always great to learn about the history of bmx. I recently found a '78 Robinson at a local swap meet here in Southern California. At the time I had no idea what I purchased. The euro BB and the looptail caught my attention. By the time I left the swap meet I found out it was a 1st year Robinson and after getting it home and sanding it, I realized it was originally candy blue and Numbered 031. It made my find that much better. I'm thinking about starting over with the original blue finish.
