Check the description. He is calling it an anodized pink and and anodized purple. I think the picture is bogus.

Good point skubi1!
Since I started this thread... I can hijack it if I feel like it...
What size is your seatpost?
(Okay, save the joking comments
or let 'em fly if you're moved
)
My '93 A2L required a trip to my LBS, the original post with the laser etched "Barracuda" logo had been butchered and hacked very short. The digital calipers were backed up by a seat tube micrometer... my Cuda requires a 29.4mm seatpost. Luckily, I found a NOS Tioga Mountaineer DL2001 post that matches the NOS handlebar I installed not too long ago. I love those early 90's Tioga bits! They are under the radar, usually a great price, and triple butted Tange Prestige CrMo steel.
Who's next?

the guy at the lbs measured the seat tube and was inbetween 26.7 and 26.8. the frame was heated a wee bit, temp's 98 degrees outside, so messed with the size a little bit. the .8 fit snug, the .7 had some wiggle room in there. so if anyone has a old cuda or kooka seatpost that they don't want..... XD

This is my favorite post of all time... loks slick and the eccentric roller allows for perfect adjustment that does not involve the clamping of the seat rails. They don't come with this high polished look anymore, Salsa cheaped out and went with a dull finish.

Right on skubi1, nice score! You'll love it! It's my favorite seatpost, I have both the polished black with the XTR gray clamp and polished silver with the XTR gray clamp. I'm always looking for more but I had to pass it along for your build, I'm glad you worked it out. Glad I could help... don't forget those pictures!
