First Barracuda Build A2E

[willywill]

Here is the very first Barracuda I put together. I did it on the cheap as an experiment to see if I could find parts on Ebay, build a bike and sell it without losing money (I lost $2.00 ). This was put together from a consortium of used parts I had and ones that I bought. This bike was progenitor for many more to come. The whole rig was under 20 lbs, 18.5 if I remember correctly and it rode great. I ended up selling to a gentlemen in Idaho who says that he has and is enjoying riding it. I think this was a 1998 model, not sure though, I know it was built in Farmingdale, NY from the attached sticker. Cheers!

Yep, that's a Ross-built cuda, but an A2E is a great frame! Nice to know you budgeted well on the build; $2.00 loss is nothing.. at least you enjoyed the build.
