1992 - 16" Easton - 064

A repository for serial numbers. Given some time, we can decode what the numbers mean, which will allow easier identification of the Barracuda frames.

This is a 92 Easton, serial number is 064. Pretty sure it's a 16" frame.

Hey Mark, is that the one that was on Ebay a while back with the crack in seat tube? That is one AWSOME looking Cuda!

I actually bought this frame, it arrived and aside from the crack in the seat tube was in as near flawless condition as i could have ever hoped for. It was a pleasant surprise, i've had bikes a year old that get more wear than it showed

As soon as i have a free day its getting dropped of at Chelsea bicycle in brooklyn to have the seat tube either repaired or replaced at their discretion. They will also be reaming out the seat tube in a couple of my steel frames to accomodate a 26.8 just to make selection a bit easier

EDIT: Yes, it is a 16! good eyes mark! I have wanted this frame since i was in middle school. When i got my first 'Cuda the shop owner had this frame with a mag 21 SL TI and spin wheels and i have been lusting after that setup for 15 years now

I have seen a few over the years but never in 16, so i knew that even if i end up spending a few hundred to fix the frame i had to go for it

Sweet! I believe the provenance of this frame can be traced. I saw pics of it long ago online; the previous owner had pics up on his blog of it..
