Diamant

anyone know much about Diamant track frames? anyone got one?

Slamm has one I think.

if someone's offering you one, get it.

slams bike is perty...

i was wondering about the tubing really. it's not stickered. Slamm's seems to be 531 from the photo...

chris crash slams bike is perty...

yep that be mine :-) thanks
certainly 531, RPM's right, if you've got the chance to get one, get it.

While I remember, check this…

My bike -

Found On FGG -

Mental! keep meaning to email the guy.

i'd seen your bike elsewhere and thought it was just delightful. 60cm?

presumably yours is a track frame with the same paintjob and you didn't have the ends replaced/braze-ons removed?

do you know much about them in general? i just want to suss the steel.

the one on the bottom looks great -

top one's a bit ropey though…

bloody hell, i once had magura hydraulic brakes on a dual slalom bike... i could stop on a fifty pence piece... lethal. plus servicing them was a nightmare.

Yep, that's right, it's a track frame, 60cm.
Believe they're German, that's about all I know…

aha ! That is where your believe misleads you. There is a Diamant in Belgium and a Diamant in Germany. Totally unrelated as far as I know btw.

aaah, yes I was told originally they were Belgian but then someone told me they were definitely German so went with that.
Confusing!

my bikes bigger then yours :P

ahhh... i heard they were east-german but i also see a lot of diamant's around over here in Belgium so I figured they might be Belgian too... So, how do you tell one from another?

for example, there are quite a lot of diamant's with this logo around in Belgium, so i assume they are the Belgian Diamants?

yeah that's what I was gonna say, think the German one is more like this -

there's also some weird little face logo I've seen too? and there's this to throw into the mix also -
a head badge that seems to say Milano on it? :-P

but what about ze steel???!

check out german ebay. A few pop up from time to time. It also seems to be a fairly good place to get track stuff in general......

that's where I got mine ;-)

that one on ebay at the mo has a strange looking bottom bracket in it. looks nice though, and slamm's is a beauty.

This just went up on Ebay (U.S.) today.

^She's selling that from Bristol.
I received a seat post from her today.

....facing the same problem here, bought mine in Belgium but for what I found out is that they also have various lugs. There the ones with the actual diamant-shape thingie in it, which I believe are the Belgian ones and the others with more decorations which look to be the east-german frames. There is no information about the east-german factory on the web though....
