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!
