Diamondback Master build
Hi all,
I've got a dilemma: my Master is a pretty nice frame, built in Taiwan, but is it worth building up?
It's got some paint chipped off, and the "M" in Master has been ripped off. Here are some pictures:
This is when it was built up. Am I trying to make a silk purse out of sow's ear?
Thanks for the advice!

Nice saddle on her, but the stem isn't working for me. Any bike made in Taiwan with a bolt-on rear derailleur and shifters should be excellent candidates to restore or refurbish. That is a nice bike to keep if it fits you, and do not worry about the scratches and the M... it adds patina.

Oh, that stem's long gone, put on my "bad back" bike build. Thanks for the feedback!
