I can get photos of the lugs later. regarding postage I made a mistake there, Im making too much of a loss with free postage. I can do half price postage. its proabaly around 50euro for europe and 35 for UK, so Ill do 50% off either
the lugs are perfect, no build up of paint. I cleaned them up after every coat of paint

For Sale: DDR Diamant Pista custom 3d sparkle paint
Posted by
East German track frame & forks
not drilled for brakes
DDR Diamant exited for over 100 years building bicycles and motorbikes.
TT 575mm
ST 600mm (center to top)
HT 175mm
wheelbase 985mm
68mm BSA bottom bracket
custom multi layer sparkle paint, metallic layers followed by flecks then laquer
6months of work(2-3 sprays a week, sanding, curing)
older vintage headbage fitted instead of regular decal that comes with this model
looks a 'million dollars' on a bright sunny day, or late at night with street light bouncing off the paint.
built up=
pictures dont do it justice. the paint has some chips, if Im honest I dont know exactly how it will weather over time. it feels smooth to the touch, I went up to p2000 and then liquid polish. there are silver specks under gold under silver which are suspended in clear laquer, with different shades of metallic underneath. a very nice 3d effect.
its been used on the road 3 times and kept in my flat, weather has been very nasty here in Ireland, its a summer day bike. no dents or damage, paint was very good when I got it but wanted to try something different, then it became an obsession to get perfect, many trips to the paint store, probably more paint sprayed around the frame than on the frame, and my lungs hated me for a while till I got a proper mask.
no pitting in the headset, new grade25 bearings installed, these are loose as it doesnt come with a retainer, pain in the arse to install. packed full of rock n roll grease, contamination free.
bb threads fine. chrome is very good/excellent. no rust, just usual imperfections from something this old.
DDR Diamant made their own tubing and lugs, the seat cluster takes a 24mm seatpost tho the seatube could have taken 26mm+
im including a 400mm 24mm seatpost as shown in picture, it was new before installation and still mint.
hand filed,shaped and polished stronglight crankset possibly available
