Hey Mark, is that the one that was on Ebay a while back with the crack in seat tube? That is one AWSOME looking Cuda!- January 9, 2011 at 12:44 am
Oh, this one isn’t mine. I grabbed the pics off Retrobike and posted here for posterity..- January 13, 2011 at 2:36 pm
I actually bought this frame, it arrived and aside from the crack in the seat tube was in as near flawless condition as i could have ever hoped for. It was a pleasant surprise, i’ve had bikes a year old that get more wear than it showedAs soon as i have a free day its getting dropped of at Chelsea bicycle in brooklyn to have the seat tube either repaired or replaced at their discretion. They will also be reaming out the seat tube in a couple of my steel frames to accomodate a 26.8 just to make selection a bit easier
EDIT: Yes, it is a 16! good eyes mark! I have wanted this frame since i was in middle school. When i got my first ‘Cuda the shop owner had this frame with a mag 21 SL TI and spin wheels and i have been lusting after that setup for 15 years now
I have seen a few over the years but never in 16, so i knew that even if i end up spending a few hundred to fix the frame i had to go for it

Sweet! I believe the provenance of this frame can be traced. I saw pics of it long ago online; the previous owner had pics up on his blog of it..- January 30, 2011 at 5:47 pm

Wow, I love your Easton, manbeer. I love your use of colors.- January 30, 2011 at 6:53 pm
Nice Job, that really looks good!- January 30, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Thanks guys, the only other thing i am thinking of changing is the cranks, if i happen to find a set of kookas in nightstorm pattern. I always loved Cook Bros but i think the nightstorm ano would be fitting
