Nick’s 1997 XXTeam

hey everyone, im nick and im definately glad I stumbled on this site! About 7 years ago I picked up a NOS xx team… Im not exactly sure what year it is all i know is I got it for 200 bucks and couldnt pass it up at the time! Im 28 now and I remembered barracudas from when I was a kid cause my local shop at the time sold them and by the unmistakable tear drop top tube. See what happened was when I was in college I had a 2000 specialized rockhopper that had got stolen and I couldnt afford a brand new bike… so when I found this I was extatic. I rode it for a while, turned it into a single speed and put on some v-brakes and now Im thinking it’ll be the perfect ride for my girlfriend. The barracuda has been collecting dust due to me getting a good job and buying a full array of other bikes but I could never get rid of her. The color scheme and the way it rode was too nice. Im thinking Ill put the gears back on ( still have the old yellow gripshift xray and the old school xt derailuers!) maybe a new set of wheels and hopefully my girlfriend enjoys riding !
