Title:A2E "BARRACUDA" 16-INCH MOUNTAIN BIKE FRAME (NEVER USED)
Description:
Up for auction is an A2E "BARRACUDA" 16-inch Mountain Bike frame. This frame was made some time in the 90's, but has never been set up. It is in immaculate condition! I'll let the pictures speak.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding

By the way, the frame weighs in at 5.5 pounds. I forgot to mention that.

It would be some sort of steel. I wouldn't trust the Made in USA chain guard to represent the frame's manufacture origin. But you can't go wrong for $25 buckaroo's.

Love it(have a thing for green) but a 16 ...No Amigos sticker yet it does not have a replaceable hanger...Think they are telling a lie about never used and it has a new paint job??

Contacted the seller and they have said it is an unused frame, they could not remember the year of the frame.
looks like 97/98 from the green and white, though the rear hanger that you mention was there a certain year when they started to use replaceable hangers?
