Hey all, I am an original owner of a 93 A2E, have had it since I picked it up back in 93 from a shop in Chicago that use to be in the basement of a hotel called recycle. I think Carmichael is the owner, shop name is now called cycle he dropped the “re”. Anyway, I stumbled on this site cause i was looking for decals, im considering giving the bike a face lift and want to get it a fresh coat of paint/pc. I want to keep it totally originally, after 20 years of riding this bad boy still is my favorite ride of all. I have converted to a street bike, got some slicks on it, all xt components, for those of you paying attention I still have some ol’school original magura HS 22’s. So any help on where to get some new decals? Also having trouble posting pics of the Cuda any tips?

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest reducing your images to 650 pixels wide. “Browse” to find the image, click on the image file and make sure to “Add the file”.

I did find this in the FAQ:

I didn’t realize they were uncommon as my second just arrived. I also ordered a SDG 2000 ti seat and a Judy DH with White Brothers upgrade fork to replace the mag21.

That being said I still have love my first 94 A2E and am getting ready to take her out today even with the A2V in the shed. Make me a good offer on this one Neo and you can have her. Note the frog and monkey pillows will be extra!!!

I am more than willing the walk the stroll of shame back to the garage and the offer is quite tasty but I’ll only go there if you include my favorite SDG Ti Kevlar saddle with the deal… you gotta give to get!

Speaking about “the house” I’m keeping quiet about today’s haul…

Here’s the deal, lately, I haven’t been too lucky with Craigslist/Ebay/Yakaz on my bike treasure seeking, plenty of “just sold it” and “someone is on the way over right now” or I get clipped at the auction closing and I was starting to suffer bike depression. Today the bike gods smiled on me again! I scored a black set of Kooka 170mm cranks with Kooka rings, a set of new in the box black Kooka 175mm crank arms, a black Kooka 110mm stem, an ol’skool 1″ Salsa quill stem (my favorite quill brand), and a XTR front derailleur. My depression has lifted… I can now tilt back and enjoy a few bottles Fat Tire Ale… the box I bought came with 12 “friends” to help celebrate the good blessings of the day (as it is the Sabbeth… the black Kooka Sabbeth)!
