If I had funds I would do it and I know it’s not a cheap deal….but how many of these have come on the market. I hope you go for it Mix and make her shine again so I can at least see pictures of it !!!!
I know it has some ugly battle wounds on the chain stay, but it needs loving…wish I could give it !
That would certainly be the crown jewel in a Barracuda collection! My collection of bikes is too diversified and Mark has his Ultimate project… guess Sheriff Mixalive needs a new project! Don’t worry the misses won’t notice another!
Man I wish I could, thought I do have a set of doubles that one of the guys at the dive shop wants…..And just for Derek….IT IS A FRAME FOR SHORT PEOPLE
Well be glad, that is a rare Cuda…we have only seen three go up for sale. They did not make many of them to begin with….If I had the funds I would have jump on it myself BUT…So please do build pictures so it can be seen .
will do…I am probably going to get the frame powder coated and painted first. Going to do it the right way…also going to be so jealous watching the GF ride.
That is ok because you will not be the only one jealous, if I had money like I use to I would have done the buy now when I found it on e-bay instead of doing the post for Mix. But as far as I know he is the other one that is on the forum enough where the Pm would have been noticed soon that rides a 14. By the way, measure that thing when you get it please..from the picture the rear of that frame does look like a 12 but not sure, if the guy measured wrong that might be a smaller frame..he wrote 15 for the size which means he may have measured to top of post instead of center tube ..but I was so hot to get the news out that a Easton was for sale I did not think about it right off !
Enjoy the build and treat it with love….must go cry now, Vinnie đ„
Thanks for the heads up. But I am not really in the market at the moment. I would have expressed this earlier in this thread but I have been town hopping with a production event for the last 5 days. I really prefer to purchase frames that don’t need to be refinished. I am good as long as the decals are still there.
I am also a little leery about aluminum frames that look beat up. Hairline cracks and all. And the overpriced shipping fees I am seeing on some of these auctions is a buzz kill.. But thanks again for thinking of me.
Understand, two very good points you made there. The shipping cost on some parts does not add up, I feel that is somebody padding their profit and we know you have had your share of fun with cracks.
Just where have you been, some straight lace guy has been using your tag name and acting like Derek and I have been posting wrongful things against God and nature.
To ease the pain of the nasty crack and a salute to our Cali Cuda brother
