    I’ve owned this one since 96 and got it second hand and I’m not real sure about the year. I was thinking that it’s a Colorado bike but but after reading somethings here i’m not sure. Maybe you experts here could tell me more :)

    I will only address one of my issues and it speaks to character…

    Manbeer advertised a Cuda garage sale, I PM’ed him and worked out a deal for some parts, money was sent via Paypal, and he claimed to have mailed them. Some time went by and I never received my package. I questioned him, he apologized for the oversight and promised it was on the way. Again, no deliveries and I never heard from Chris “Manbeer” ever again. I sent multiple messages via this site and through Retrobike with no response.

    So, “Manbeer” is synonymous with sneakiness, all things crooked, and/or lacking any character. That’s just my experience but I’m not alone, hence why “Manbeerin'” has a universal joke to it now. No inside joke, just Cudaheads who were done wrong by a snake!

    Anyone else want to contribute?

    Hahahaha, ok I remember some of those threads a while back…

    I sent an A2E frame to someone on this site a while back. A thread was started under the restoration forum but I haven’t heard about how it turned out.

    Getting manbeerd totally sucks, I had a “contractor” manbeer me out of $5K at the height of the financial crisis back in 2008, talking about bad timing for me…working as a builder, economy tanking, getting manbeerd to boot.

    Fortunately I had my trusty steed and I spent many miles pedaling off my frustrations, many, many, many, miles.

    Manbeerd, I really like the sound of that. Neo, can I use that slang in my neck of the woods? (Greensboro, NC) It has a distinctive SoCal punk flavor that is sorely lacking around here (no matter how loud I play NOFX).

    Separate note, about SoCal, just watched Dogtown and Z-Boys, what a great documentary. Does anything of the similar vein exist for the mountain biking crowd?

    I’m giving big thumbs up to all things “Manbeer” but we must first ask the great and powerful Oz… I mean Mixalive… for you see it was Brother Terry, The Modfather”, that started that tasty bit of goodness!

    Brother Mix, care to enter in on this?

    On a different note, who did you send that A2E to on this forum? That the kind of lousy Manbeer sh*t that gets the hairs up on the back of my neck!!! You spent 30 or 40 quid to ship a frame to someone and they left you hanging’? What the F*CK?!!! That doesn’t fly with me, let’s get to the bottom of this!

    Signin’ off,

    dep’U’tee DON

    p.s. C’mon Sheriff Mixalive… lemme put the bullet in my gun!

    p.p.s. I love Fat Mike and the crazy cats in NOFX! So many cool people! Milo and The Descendents, Face to Face, P’wise… plenty of laughs and good times partyin’ with those guys! Milo and The D.’s kicked down a onesey (sp?) when my daughter was born. Definitely as special time with a great group of people!

    I didn’t get manbeerd on this site, the A2E went to VIP member Cudarider. Smoothy transaction, no problems whatsoever, just curious as to how the build is coming (or has come) along.

    Skubi, were the Bur-Mil Park trails developed when you lived in Greensboro? I ride them mostly during the winter time but they are great trails, especially for being so close to the city. They received some national recognition a while back for best urban trail riding, though I don’t think it realy compares to the riding I’ve done when living in SLC, UT. And not even close to Park City!

    I have polished my pitch fork, whittled a thumping stick, and ralleyed the locals (mostly cats but all feral of course…) Let’s roll!!!
