1988 Diamond Back viper BMX Catalogue

With the combined handling characteristics of the DB Reactor and Strike Zone built into the 1988 Viper Freewheel and Coaster Brake, we've made these bikes the best all around bikes in Diamond Back's line up for 1988, plus a spec sheet that reads like a factory racing bike: ACS Tangent series 860 brakes - front and rear. 20 x1.75 Comp III skinwall racing tire, alloy chromoly stem, and the list goes on. You would think this bike would sell for twice what it does. F/W Colors - Chrome/Black/Chrome, White/Reflex Blue/White, Red/Black/White. C/B Colors - Chrome. Yellow/Black/White, White/Red/White.
