I’m from Baltimore,Md. and I think,I was the first ever to have a A2L Barracuda in my home town.
I had a white/golden yellow rigid frame. That bike was amazing! ” I’m referring to her as past tense
because she was stolen in the west coast where I moved after college.
I rode this bike on single tracks in San Rafael to Mt. Tam. RIGID!!!!
Man, I miss her to this day….
I now, ride a Litespeed. Different animal altogether! However, I found a Cudda for sale!
A2R non the less! Not white/gold like my old friend.
Welcome Mountain Goat, always nice to add a new Cudahead to the family… especially one who has a fondness for an A2Limited (aka A2L)! I am a proud owner of an A2L and I’d be beside myself if it were stolen. I’m sorry for your loss! My A2L has had numerous looks over the years 3×7 rigid, 2×8 suspended, 1×1 rigid (then suspended), 1×8 suspended, and finally back to the start with the old 3×7 XT off my ’91 Stumpjumper with a gold SC72 White Brothers fork up front. This set up has been by far the most enjoyable! I can’t say enough about the 7 speed XT shift/brake pods and the White Brothers “Factory Forx” being bombproof!
I’m always looking for a second A2L, what size frame do you need? If I find one in your size, I’ll let you know.
