help identifying a Diamant bike

[tallbikes]

hi there,
new member here, first post,
im trying to find some info about this bike,
from what iv read diamant were a German company that were taken over by trek, but all the German models seem to have different logos,
and there seems to be Belgian made bikes with the same font text as this one but I can't find any information about that,
and there also seems to be a norwiegan company by the same name who are still in production,
so im wondering if anyone can help me work out where this bike is from and what model it might be and any other info
cheers!!

There were many types of Diamant as I recall. There was a thread on here quite recently. Your one looks like quality. Any tubing decals?

yeah its hard to find any conclusive information on diamants, after looking at that thread you shared above now im seeing that there are also French diamants, I think there might even be Australian ones but its so hard to find any info at all about any country,

il post more pictures of decals and stuff next time I can get a picture,

im inclined to believe its a Belgian made frame just because iv seen other Belgian made frames with the same bid "D" on the head tube and they seem to have been made in the 90s but thats just going off what iv read about other bikes with similar logos

so I have a few more pictures now

im still none the wiser after looking at this decal

some absolutely lovely cuffs

some odd but cool looking cuffs

I love when the housing goes inside the top tube

from what I can see on the bottom bracket it say '98791'
but the 7 kinda looks like a 1 an the 1 looks just like a line


anyway any info on this would be really interesting

Ieper is Ypres so your Belgian guess may stack up
