The 1999 Diamond Back Skindog BMX features a chromoly Franko-design main frame with double-thick dropouts and reinforced bottom bracket and head tube, paired with a full chromoly fork using a threadless steerer, 1-1/4” blades, and reinforced dropouts. It comes fitted with handlebars offering an 8” rise in chrome, held by an alloy A-head stem (1-1/8”). Braking is handled by an alloy U-brake with Dia-Compe alloy lever, while the drivetrain uses a one-piece chromoly 175mm crank in chrome with a 44-tooth alloy chainwheel, matched to alloy platform pedals. The wheelset consists of alloy double-wall 48-hole rims with high-flange alloy hubs and a 14mm rear axle, wrapped in Comp III-style 20x2.125” tyres front and rear. Comfort comes via a DB super-padded seat with 8mm rails and a layback seatpost.
