My personal life and career have stabilized so I thought why not go after one of those life long dreams, right? So I’m reaching out to the experts here to see if anyone knows where I could find one. Unfortunately it won’t let me post a photo until I have 10 posts minimum, but it’s a Diamondback DBR yellow V6 team version (from 96 or 97?) I’m 6’2” so the hunt for the large frame has been a challenge. Thanks so much to everyone in advance for any assistance!

Hi Tim, welcome aboard, glad you found us.

Go around, say "Hi" and or comment to get you post count up. We like to say "pics or it didn't happen" so they are key and most of us can't help enough without them.

I am in the same boat on height, not a giant at 6ft. but with a 37in. inseam I can ride 66-68cm all day long, Most of mine are 60-64 which work ok but I got 2 bigger ones last summer and was amazed how much better they rode for me, never really knew since I had ridden smaller ones most of my life.

You might want to post this in the Vintage MTB thread as well even though its probably not quite vintage, they have progressed a lot in this time frame so....
