    Mmm White Bros forks! XC70? Great looking forks.

    Did you see the story on Retrobike? Someone had 7 bikes stolen from their basement all sorts of rare titanium MTBs probably 15k worth!

    I’m going to be watching this one closely. I still have most of my parts that would fit nicely on this.

    Hope you get it, so close to Christmas- maybe the bidding will stay low? Good Luck!

    There is no 20″. Barracuda made a 19″, but this looks like the 18″ size.

    Best start counting my pennies then!

    Good to see some more coming out of the woodwork- this is an awesome looking bike. Syncros stuff looks superb.

    I gave up with the decals! & got a pro in to do the job here is a taster. Hoping the dark green should go with the rear triangle nicely

    BobCatMax who is a member on retrobike.co.uk did the recolouring and redrawing for me the rest of the decals look fantastic. He did a great job on the Trees Amigos logo from what scans and photos I could find and is currently making the A2X logo. Can’t wait to get my hands on them.

    I have most of the bits for the build here is a rough spec list…

    Frame: 16″ Barracuda A2X

    Yep I agree and think its time to retire that frame. The price of a repair (+ repaint) would be more than a lot of Barracudas on Craigslist.

    Lots of deals on 2010 bikes at the moment aswell.

    I’ve been working on the decals a bit. Photoshop pros please don’t laugh!

    My thinking is get it back to black and white and then add colours. & I’m waiting til I get all components before I decide on the colour. I may still yet stick to the original scans from Todd with the red and yellow logo on the down tube.

    As for freehanding the A2X…

    No corners cut! I am impressed with how much work you are putting in & really looking forward to seeing this built up- especially the decals as I have to make some myself.

    What a fantastic suprise and a cool shirt to own.

    I just did some research: Durango has a pop. of 14,000- I am no longer suprised that everyone knows someone who had something to do with Yeti!

    This is trippy. I want to know more about this bike, for sure. Like what the serial number is, whether it was an XX coming off the factory floor, or if it’s a re-branded A2M or something, etc..

    I think I can see mudguard eyelets is that a clue? I know my A2X doesn’t have them.

    Anyway its $20 snap it up!
