A local IMBA member was kind enough to give me the frame and fork for this 1993 Diamondback Sorrento. The bottom bracket needed a rebuild, the shifters were shot, and no wheels.
I stripped the frame (except the bottom bracket fixed cup...couldn't get that thing to budge!) and then stripped all the paint off. Both the fork and frame got a repaint.
Rebuilt the bottom bracket with new bearings, bought new shifters, bought some wheels from another member, and used what spare parts I had laying around.Also bought a few things on Amazon...all total I'm about $120 for the build.
I am still waiting on the shifters, and have to fine tune some things, but she's just about ready for some neighborhood cruising!
How I got it...
