Diamondback Ridgerunner

Very cool. I'm partial to the black one, because that's the one I bought brand new when I was 19. However the only difference was the dealer installed Ist gen Deore XT components on mine, which cost me more than the stock Ridgerunner. He installed XT derailleurs, shifters, crank set, hubs on mine. I remember the other Ridge Runners he had in stock came with stock sun tour components. Mine was higher end than the the stock Suntour set up. I dig them both, but more so the black.

Wow, didn't know they had XT back then. I am partial to the black one as well. It was the first MTB I had seen before, and my BMX bike was a Diamondback Turbo, which looked very similar in the black with a lot of polished silver components.

Back in 84 I bought a black Diamondback Ridgerunner that was a super fun bike to ride, but a couple yrs later was stolen. I'd like to find another 18" Black Diamondback Ridgerunner frame & fork, or complete bike. Anyone out there have one to sell or has a lead ? View attachment 901202

Are you still looking for a diamondback ridge runner. I have a complete one.

Yeah, can you send me some pics.

These things make such good off road touring bikes.

They don't show up very often, but here is an 83 that recently came my way. Definitely sporting some "patina", but still wearing most of her original bits.

Found Another one that actually fits me...22" from 1983.

Wow, can't believe you found another one. That's cool.
