1990 Diamond Back Silver Streak BMX Catalogue

The 1990 Diamond Back Silver Streak. The engineers and the R&D Department at Diamond Back tried to make this a mild-mannered BMX bike, but the Assault got away from us. Under the finish, it's a pure bred hard-core, track-savvy race bike. It must be the three-tube chromoly frame built into the Reactor geometry that does it, or maybe it's the Reactor Series race rubber. It'll take a Dia-Compe Bulldog brake set to stop this puppy. It doesn't look so mild-mannered after all. Launch a full-scale Assault on your competition today. Colors: Chrome Plated or Blue/Black/Blue.
