I always thought Diamond Back was Dimond Back :roll:
I always thought Diamondback made its own bikes.
Own brand in the beginning. Couldn't tell you today.
aka_locojoe,
I think the point was they got more or less accidently into the bike biz by re-branding Raleighs, years later Derby Bike Group bought Raleigh then a year or 2 later bought Diamondback, sort of full circle(Huffy made American Raleighs for awhile so there is a connection there also from the original post). Derby is the parent of many bike brands, more than Dorel that has Schwinn, Gt, Mongoose, Pacific and now Cannondale

Got curious about what happened to Derby, turns out they went Bankrupt in 2001, management bought them out and renamed it Raleigh again, then they stopped using the other "lesser" brand names like Nishiki and Univega and just stuck to the Raleigh and Diamondback brands. Moved all production to the Far East shortly after.
