I finally finished putting this one back together. It is a 93 A2R with a 14" frame. I purchased it on the cheap from Craigslist for $45. Thanks of course to Neo-pop for the tip that it was in my back yard. As I updated my CudaComp with XT, I put the LX groupo on this bike. This is the finished product.

Nicest budget Cuda ever!!!

+1 for down home cred too... keepin' it in Austin with the LBS frame sticker is worth big bonus points in my book!!! It really turned out well... now you just need a few Cudaheads to pop by for an unannounced visit (carrying suitcases of PBR) and go for beer crit around your local park!

Thanks dudes.. The Manitou 3 has the elastomers, but I am still looking for a Wings spring conversion kit.

That first pic, Left_thru_bushes, is a great shot... it looks like a pic that would have been in Mountain Bike Action for a Barracuda write up. Sweet!

I know I have said it a few times but it is so true...Thomson seat post, there is no other! Ha..I have a Dale seat on my cheap single speed bike, forget who really makes that thing have seen them with other names on them as well but yours is the same as mine with the coda on the nose. Sweet bike made even more so with that post on her now, icing on the cake would be a Thomson stem as well...and now they have a seat post clamp...MERCY!
