Diamant Modell 35 707 - 1961

This bike really was a long-term project. Started with the purchase of the frame in nearly perfect condition back in 2012, followed by a long search for all the rare parts in NOS or near mint condition for the specific year of manufacture. I finished this bike in 2020 and now have the next one which I will never ride ;-)
