Barracuda - Totally Driven!

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

That thing makes my helmut twitch.

LOL!!!

Yes, gotta love a 3 digit serial number!

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!

Oh, this one isn't mine. I grabbed the pics off Retrobike and posted here for posterity..

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..

Here is the frame currently in mock build up, as of last week. So far the parts list consists of

Manitou 4 W/ 3DV AC Brace (Not yet installed)
Dia Compe Aheadset (Soon to be replaced w ringle or king)
3DV Ringle Zooka Stem
Blue Answer Hyperlites
SRAM X-RAY
3DV Kooka Racha Levers
3DV Control Tech Brakes
M900 XTR Derailleurs
Mavic BB
Blue Cooks E Crank w/ Real 46/34/24 rings and AC dust caps
Real Aluminum Cassette w/ Blue AC lockring
Blue Ringle Skewers
Blue/3DV ringle h2o cages
Mavic 217's w/ Nuke proof and 3dv TNT hubs, Ti dye titanium spokes
Panaracer XC Magic

Pretty sure thats it for now, need to find a ringle post 26.8 in blue or 3dv, and possibly a set of spin wheels.

Wow, I love your Easton, manbeer. I love your use of colors.

Nice Job, that really looks good!
