1995 Diamond Back Axis TT Pro

a large 1995 Diamond Back mountain bike with shiny finish leans against a garage. The bike has flat bars, knobby 26" tires, and is glimmering in the sun. 1995 Diamond Back Mountain Bike Catalog page featuring the Axis TT Pro.

Previous owner had decked this thing out with full M900/910 XTR. Shifters were gummed up as usual for a bike of this age, but only needed a little lubrication spray to bring them back to life.
