If you are into mountain bikes from this era, this is a great find. I absolutely love this bike the quality of the build is amazing. If you are looking at this listing then you probably know the story of Barracuda mountain bikes, however I did find a wonderful websited dedicated to these bikes at http://www.barracudabicycles.com
This is the model A2E which is one of the higher end models made by Barracuda. I believe that this is from the year 1995, and seems to have mostly original componenents. The bike is in great shape, does have a few nicks and scratches. I am getting a measurement of 18 inches from the center of the the bottom bracket to the top of the tub.

Tree Amigos sticker right under that one
Designed and Assembled in the USA sticker towards the bottom

Ritchey Mad Max front tires and Ritchey Climb Max rear tires (will need to be replaced, showing signs of dry rot)

I will have this professionaly boxed at a local reputable bike dealer for shipment, so please allow 2-3 business days for shipment.
I know it is not a bargain like others posted in this forum but thought it was worth a post
