Black Diamond Deluxe

[G-Matt]

Well first off the name ,,,when I found this bike I new it was a Dimond in the rough . It had plenty of potential. With just enough patina and color I knew it was missing just one thing . That was the TRM TANK the fist time I saw Jim's tanks I new I had to have one some day .
It's taken me awhile to getting around to purchase one but I finally did yesterday. It's in shipping mode as we speak . This bike is a girls Ross frightliner or maybe called a star liner super deluxe. So thats how the name Dimond Super Deluxe came about.

So I'm going to try and get in on the Fun . If I can make some time in the next few months & get this thing built . Thankfully I have most of all the other parts to complete
The Dimond Super Deluxe .
This is how it looked when I bought it about a year ago for 40$ .

Enjoy the fun of a TRM tank build G! Will you keep the original tank too? You might be too tanked to tink!

Nice old gem, what year would she be?

I think I remember you posting this when you got it.
I like how the two tubes stop at the seat tube, always thought those would make a good spot for brake lights on a TRM tank build.

Yes may try to pull a little more of the original color out , but going to keep the dirty & aged look for sure .

Yes that would be a cool idea time will tell you know how these bike evolve & change direction a little during the build .

Cool build! Didn't we have a moratorium on alcohol references here because of the wee ones, or am I remembering that wrong?

Yep, I forgot about that. No direct references, thanks for the reminder.

Thanks that could be not sure but I would not be surprised . It's not a typical reference so hopefully all is well . [emoji1303]

As I understand it, mentioning occasionally within threads is fine, but no threads dedicated to 'What Beer are you drinking today?' or anything like that.

Nice frame G-Matt! I don't think it would be possible to run both tanks on there without cutting a huge amount out of one of them though?

Thanks Luke for the feed back . I will stay on point from now on . Re guarding the second tank I think odd job was just kidding around. I don't think that would work very well nor look good . The TRM Tank is all I need on this bike for sure .
