Hello again. Just a quick note to say I've now completed my research, many thanks to everybody who helped me. I'll be using some of the information provided in the various forum threads relevant to it. I'll send a link to the article when it's finally published, some time (I expect) in 2023.

Hey that's really helpful, thanks! Of all the bikes the Black Diamond was the one about which I had the least info., but this gives us some great historical insight. I'll add these ad. images to the research, (barring the obit. they're more than 90 years old so no copyright issues) and include some analysis of their significance.
