Hello welcome to the forums. Glad you joined us. We would love to help you identify your bike but since 10 posts are required to post pics its much easier to comment on other threads. Give a few compliments here and there.

Soon you'll get to 10 posts and be able to upload pics.

any info you can give us about your bike? Serial number? Markings? Component?

Supposedly is a acent ex diamond, 90s but a have my questions about it

T-Mar

It looks entry level based on what appears to be stamped dropouts and poor lugless brazing.

Ive never seen a triple triangle DB before, or those decals. is this US or EU version?

Diamondback Ascent EX according to the decals, but reeks of GT from my perspective.

Specifically, I'm getting a lot of GT All Terra / Pantera vibe.

Interesting. I think the OP is somewhere in Europe, maybe Spain judging by the background boxes and all.

T-Mar

This doesn't look like a GT to me. The signature feature on their C&V triple triangle frames was a short section of the top tube that protruded behind the seat tube. The cap of this piece was typically embossed with the GT logo. This feature was achieved by forming the rear end of the top tube into an oval with the major axis oriented horizontally, so that the smaller diameter seat tube could pierce the top tube.

OP appears to be from Mexico.

Good catch. Not my arena of expertise, but after posting and editing, I looked again at the welds where the DT/TT meet the head tube and started to question whether this is actually a production bike.

T-Mar

I think it's a production frame but an entry level model with low workmanship standards. Besides the poor brazing, it has what appears to be stamped dropouts and steel headset cups. Metal plated finishes became popular on entry level models as a marketing tool, starting in the early 1990s.

There's nothing proprietary about the triple triangle/quadrilateral/Hellenic frame style. Back in the 1980s, two other big users were Shogun and Nashbar, though I don't think this is either brand or that old.

Along with malacal622, I'd like some additional information, particularly the serial number, steering column markings and seat post diameter. This may not allow us to determine the brand but it should corroborate the level and may allow us to determine the year.

I don't think it's brazed, those are just cheap MIG welds right? Very low end.

T-Mar

MIG didn't even pop into my head because TIG is so prevalent on bicycle frames. However, I agree that it does look like it could be sloppy MIG welds.

that is the only i could find, the diameter is a one inch, and the serial number, i only find a number under the bottom bracket shell, 718
I have the photos in the gallery, I don't know if you can see them in any way

francophile 

Definitely sloppy welds.

Here's a quick link to the exact gallery if anyone's interested: https://www.bikeforums.net/g/album/20691456

I told him that on R e d d i t but he didn’t want to hear it I guess

I bought my wife an Ascent EX and it was much nicer than that.
