Diamondback Bike Serial Number Decoding
Some companies have a date code within their serial numbers, some don't and instead have a factory and production run code. Since a brand might have used three or more different factories (especially a brand like Diamondback which isn't a manufacturer) during any one year producing it's line up tracking for recall reasons is more important then for model year. Most modern bikes are dated by the specs, usually found by old sales info. Color, parts specs, frame construction styles all are strong indicators when compared with a brochure or photos. Diamond Back began in Camarillo, CA. It eventually was swallowed up by one of the mega companies and Diamondback became one word around '97. It's pretty easy to figure the age by the components.

The Shimano crankset should have a date code and, assuming it is original, that should give you a good idea of the year. Post a pic, that can help as well. I've had a lot of DBs over the years (I live 20 minutes from Camarillo) and currently have 5. I know 2 of the '92s have serial numbers beginning with 'U' and at least one '92 starts with a different letter but can't remember what it is at the moment.You can also post in Classic and Vintage. Lots of knowledge on older bikes over there.
