Also just finished this Diamant CX bike. I loved the Splendor Team bikes of the early 80s and Mr. Softly in Australia makes great decals. My rattle can skills are not great but it came out alright.
It came from Holland and I don't know what the steel is. I think it is Ishiwata. The headtube is JIS and the seatpost is 27. The dropouts are Campy as are the cable guides. I would think that the drops would be Japanese but I am guessing it was built in Belgium this way.
Edit: I emailed EDDY MARTENS and he says that they built it for Diamant and that it was made out of Reynolds 531. I didn’t see any Reynolds marks but I may have removed them when I stripped it.
Pretty cool since he made bikes for the Splendor team.
This was alot of fun and is a great ride.
