Parts marked with as * are known to be non-original parts. Bikes were often customized at the time of purchase or were different as shown in the catalogs so exact specifications were subject to change. |
The Diamond
Back Arrival was one of the bikes that changed how mountain bikes were
sold. This bike was very heavily advertised and combined the new
Shimano Deore XT index components with an aluminum frame at a fairly
reasonable price. As bikes like this popped up (along with Treks,
Raleighs, GTs...), the custom bikes were getting harder to sell.
Here you could get an aluminum frame with top components for less money
than you would pay for a custom steel frame. Nothing too unusual
about these bikes so not too many extra pictures of this one. The
stays look to have been welded to the frame and then cut to allow for
the closing of the seat binder (see picture), kinda unusual looking.
