Re: Barracuda Frame $30 (tustin\Orange CO)
I inquired on this one as it's not far from my home, here's the skinny...
The Cuda is a 1995 A2M frame only, it looks to be a 16", no fork or other parts, and the seller wants $35.00 for the frame.
Had this been a '94 A2M, like Mixalive's, I'd be all over that! Unfortunately, double butted Tange CrMo became 7000 series aluminum in '95. Not my frame material of choice, especially given the number of frames that have developed cranks by this age.
If I had the choice, I'd rather drive 45 minutes and pick up that nice A2Limited for $100.00... now there's a deal!!!
Like I said, if I had a choice, which I don't as I recently scored a 2002 Psycle Werks Wild Hare (Marz Z1 Bomber, Fox rear shock, King headset, and XTR) for $130.00! 
However, that purchase put me back in the dog house with my wife. Oh well, I sold the "Moon Man" Ultimate Machine Co. cranks on Ebay for nearly what I paid for the bike... basically scored a $3,300.00 custom bike for $20.00!!! I can live with the fleas and bike tools in the dog house!
