Barracuda A2 Limited 19" MTB - $150 (Bozeman)

"1993 Barracuda A2 Limited mountain bike for sale. Rare! Featuring CroMO double-butted 19" frame and black Shimano Deore LX components. Experience the joys of fully functioning 2nd generation indexed shifting! 31" standover height, 23" top tube, and 43" wheelbase for stability. I'm 6' 4" and this is too small, if you are shorter this may be just right, although there is a probably a point where it will be too big, depending. Sold new for $725 in 1993."

This is the first early '93 A2L that I've come across in all these years besides my own. Most A2L Cudas have Tange MTN butted tubing, this one like mine a Tange Double Butted CrMo tubing. This one also came with the full "black" LX group where most others I've seen had a mix of silver and black LX or full silver LX components. Based on everything I've researched, this A2L is one of the early Durango made frames, not one of the late '93 Taiwanese made. This is a sweet find if you need a large frame... talkin' to you DEREK!!!

What the hell Derek...

What's a guy got to do to get your attention about this A2L?

Maybe try some trusted methods from the past...

Ha-

I knew you would try to dodge that first photo... I posted it because I thought it would remind you of those trips to the beach chasing bikinis and longing for a feather haired blonde!

I'm fairly disappointed with myself for missing this in my initial posting...

"Friends don't let friends ride Huffy bikes..."

That might be true most of the time but I'm willing to overlook such a bicycle hiccup when the shorts sit just right and something other than a headtube logo has my attention!!!
