Barracuda - Totally Driven!

It all started the day my mom backed over my Bigwheel... Two years ago, feeling the downturn in the economy, I closed up/gave up my industrial unit where I built bikes for friends/racers and restored bikes for customers. I had "the shed" for 6 years, over the duration I built/rebuilt/custo...

Yep... I stupidly sold two 'Cudas for significant losses, all because I let my bike passion for steel hardtails turn into a obsession and I felt compelled to thin the herd. Big mistake! I'm sure you could start a thread all about bike regret and everyone could contribute something... mountain, road,...

So, who got it?

Anyone on here? C'mon, admit it... you can gloat a bit.

Hey ctk- Great job on the build, it's looking fabulous! Better job on the kid, beautiful lil' future cyclist you have there, 'gots the racer's eyes!!! My little one sent me to the moon when she was born, every day she keeps me in orbit! You must enjoy a challenge... restoring bikes, having a baby, a...

VIVA IL PIRATA ! ! !

Forever my hero!

Hey manbeer,

Let me be the first welcome... it's always nice to have an addicted 'Cuda fan! I look forward to those pics! I have a '93 A2L that I'm finishing up a rebuild/upgrade. It's cool to come across another A2L owner, there doesn't seem to be too many.

Best regards,

Hey Cuda, Thanks for the appreciative word, I'm old school for sure! I started racing road in '86 and mountain XC in '90, I feel I lived and road through the best period in mountain bike history. Those late 80's into mid/late 90's were super! They pushed frame design, suspension, materials and did w...

Hey Bones, Do you have the complete '93 Barracuda catalog? If so, does it have any info on the "Crossfire" hybrid model? I was checking out ctk's posting in the MARKETPLACE forum for a Crossfire for sale in Vegas. I'm interested in it but there is nothing online regarding that model. Pleas...

Hey Mix(alive)- I think I forgot to mention the elastomer poo inside the fork legs, sorry about that! Did you go with the more expensive adjustable insert or just the Wing's springs? I opted for the heavy/heavy springs with no adjustment (I can still preload the fork) on my Manitou 2 because I wante...

Hey- Here's an odd "Cuda with (basically) no info online about it... it is referenced on this site under BIKES in 1993 only! I know that ctk had already posted this bike last month in the MARKETPLACE forum but I'm interested in getting more info on this bike if possible. Sorry ctk, I didn't mea...
