1986 Diamondback Ascent, I believe. All the decals are gone. 23” frame.
Bought it for $20 from a French tourist about to leave Los Angeles. It was covered in rust, with a bent brake boss, a dented wheel, and a broken rear derailleur.
Plus a couple bucks worth of 0000 steel wool, aluminum polish, fabric glue, and grease.

Wow what a beaut! There’s one of those diamondbacks near me but I think they’re asking 150. Much better condition than the orphan you saved here. Well done!
