In my opinion - this bike is SWEET!

This is a vintage 1995 Barracua A2V - Tree Amigos that looks 100% original to me from when Barracuda WAS Barracuda and not bought out.

I bought it from the ORIGINAL OWNER who bought it new in late '94. I even have the original rockshox pump for the fork.

This bike is in extremely nice condition for being 17 years old - even the tires are original. It was used a college commuter bike - never on a trail! The pedals still have the test platforms as well. I measured the frame and it appears to be an 18" measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the top tube. The top tube measures 23" center-to-center.

For a tall person? My A2MS is a 19", and the seat post is maxed out. What does that make you?

That bike is SEXY.

Can you say...

Don't beat yourself up chum... I'd never think of you as a hybrid weasel/rat abomination!

One should be able to laugh at their own SHORT coming....
There are good points to both sides !

This bike is down to $850 now. Too high, Grasshopper, too high..

I'm liking all the ridiculously inflated prices for our beloved bikes! Seriously, I think it's starting to get some traction with the sellers and flippers on Craigslist... I haven't seen a 'Cuda locally under $100 in well over a year... yet, I see plenty of Stumpjumpers, C'dales, and U.S. made Treks for $100 or less. The resale market on used mountain bikes has always been soft compared to road bikes from the same era, that said, I think our Barracudas are doing pretty well compared to others from the same vintage. Obviously, there are still good deals to be had if you move quickly and you've got a bit of luck on your side. I do national searches for 'Cudas from time to time but so many of those tasty scores are snatched up and the posting comes up "Deleted by owner" and I know somewhere there is a stoked Cudahead being born!

I guess the upside is it makes our bikes more valuable.

Two offers were made. I guess they were not acceptable.
