1993 Team Trivia
Piece of trivia.... While he's not listed on the website roster, Matt Smith did join the Team in 1993 and raced as a non-pro expert. Because he was "underage", he was not allowed to wear or ride Dos Equis branded apparel & equipment. We made special clothing for him that omitted the &q...

Re: Former Dos Equis Marketing Director checking in
Thanks. Sorry I haven't posted very much (OK at all) over the past few years, but I just found my bin of old Dos Equis-Barracuda materials. Probably a week's worth of scanning just on the printed materials alone, but that should add a lot to the historical content of the site from 1992 & 1993. E...

Former Dos Equis Marketing Director checking in

Re: Un-numbered 93 Barracuda
D I took most of the photos for the team so unfortunately there are very few pics of me and my bikes from the 90's. This was the best handling bike I ever rode. I've been told the frame is basically an A2X Team frame. Cool that people could buy the same frame that team would ride. I think I still ha...

Un-numbered 93 Barracuda
I'm curious if anyone else has one of these or has seen one before. It's a pre-XX 1993 Cuda frame. It's hunter green & white and is made of Tange Prestige CRMO butted O.S. tubes). I was told this was supposed to be the "team frame" which of course required a change in colors to gold/wh...
