Here's my fixed gear bikes, listed from good weather to very bad. Lately it's been way to crappy to ride the Juvela, but I just took my fixed Schwinn MTB out last night in 4" of fresh snow and and...

Ramzilla, I think you might be right. It probably was upgraded in the late 80's. I just can't find much info on the Diamond Tourer. The only Kabuki catalog available online is from 1982 and it's not...
