Barracuda - Totally Driven!

This guy has relisted this a couple times. According to bikepedia all the 93s used aerolite tubeset which we know is incorrect but I'm wondering if this could be a yeti built frame as it doesn't have the made in taiwan decal on he headtube?

Now you've got me thinking Manbeer, this is the only 'Cuda that I recall seeing that has a matched painted rigid fork. All of them I can remember had white rigid fork. I previously looked this bike up on Bikepedia to confirm that it was a 1993, '93 Cudas were the only year that came with EXAGE components. It's the painted fork that has me going! I had a '92 Yeti Ultimate, it had the "oval" steel top tube. I could almost swear the Ultimate was made from Aero-Lite tubing. I do see a spot... adhesive residue... paint chip... where the Made In Taiwan decal would be but it's impossible to know from the tiny picture.

Please let me know if you have a rigid fork Barracuda that has a matching paintjob, the year too please (if you know it).

Thanks!

I may just snatch this up since its semi close and not one you see too often. I don't know yet. Im really trying to limit my current buying to a2x/a2t, a 95 xx team, another 95 comp and a few of the oddball ross built frames like the downhill/fr models or possibly some more 14 inchers for guests to ride
