Restoring a vintage mountain bike, a '91 Diamondback Ascent showing you how I did it and what problems I encounter on the way.
Bought the bike for $5, but only save the frame for this build, splurged $$$ for some new/old parts.
Painted the bike using Spray.Bike spray paint with review on the paint & my experience.
Hope you enjoy & let me know what you think, Cheers!

Bars (looks like the manufacturer has slightly changed these bars with more backsweep and less up sweep, unfortunately they won’t be the same as mine but you can roll the dice):
