A2 Limited 14" Available

Anyone interested in an A2 Limited (14") in very good condition? I'm unpacking it and building it up now so I'll have photos soon.

Re: A2R Bottom Bracket specs? (68 x ???)

I don't have the old BB... so I can only measure the shell.
Thanks for the info - I'll try a 110 and 113 and see what kind of chain line I get.

A2R Bottom Bracket specs? (68 x ???)

Anyone know what size BB a 1994 A2R takes?
Shell is 68mm but I don't know the spindle length.
It uses a Sugino Impel 300 crank.
Thanks - Hergules

Re: Please don't hate me.......

Nice trip Bones!
I hope I'm lucky enough to visit the Barracuda museum one of these days (aka Durango). BTW, the difference in the posters was the year. The team colors were green/orange in 93 and they switched to the blue/yellow color palette in 94-95.

Re: Un-numbered 93 Barracuda

Yes, I'll likely go with the Control Tech stem & bar ends. I've seen good ones on ebay for $30-$40. Zooka's are hard to come by at a reasonable price plus I had Zooka stem back in the day and experienced a few failures... I'm more safety conscious these days (I heal slower at my age), so if I'm ...

Re: Un-numbered 93 Barracuda

I connected with Frank about a year ago . He was fairly sure that he had built those frames. Chris did a lot of specialty work as he mentioned. But all of those pre dos Equis frames were likely built byfrank while he was still at Yeti. I can't wait to ride this again. it was my fav in to 90's. i rea...

Re: Un-numbered 93 Barracuda (it's actually B1318)

Yes, thanks for the clue Mark. I found the faint stamp on the dropout... I missed it the first time I looked as the powder coat paint job almost covers it.

93 A2X - 14" - B1318

Still have the Barracuda invoice from 5/19/93 A2X Team Edition 14" GREEN/WHITE Received this frame in May 1993 from Dave Southwell along with a Manitou 1 fork. He gave the shop team I was managing Yeti-built A2X frames at near cost ($525). I'm rebuilding it now with an early XTR group, XTR-nuke...

Lisa Muhich at Her Best

Here's a nice shot from a 1993 race... one of the joint NORBA/Grundig races I believe. I don't recall which venue this was (but the mud looks like Mt Snow VT). Check out the blood streaming down Lisa Muhich's leg.

Re: Former Dos Equis Marketing Director checking in

Thanks, I'll start scanning stuff this week. I have two x 3" binders full of historical material including early design sketches, photos, press releases, newsletters, etc... Would be great to get the important stuff archived on the website. Here's a few photos from the 1993 Press Kit (notice wh...
