Its a Ross built bike, I believe a 7005 alloy frame. Love the color scheme, similar to my a2ms. The s at the end of the names just denotes suspension. I saw this ad a few days ago. Idk if he really wants 400 but of he does its a bit steep imo. I do t understand why the ad says 399+ tax though. It’s almost like its nos that has been sitting in a store all these years or something

5’2″, maybe 5’3″ on a good day. She would probably be better suited to a 14 but I tend to find a slightly smaller bike is usually easier to throw around on tight trails

Well, I would love to be the one to give you good news but the market is not too hot for these bikes right now, or anything from this era besides things like yeti, klein, fat chance and a few other top tier brands.Barracudas have a very small (but loyal) following, but the sad reality is that they are often worth more in parts. The last A2T’s that I saw went for 400-500, to give you a rough idea. I did see one for 800 last year but it was seriously hooked up. He was trying to sell it for months. Don’t think it ever did end up selling. I would say your best bet would be trying to find someone looking to trade a road bike for an mtb. Your dollar will probably go further that way. I wish I could say that these things were worth more, and on occasion someone may pay a premium for something that they really desire but its a very limited market now

Brilliant! a consolidated FS/FT thread is a great idea. I may have a few things you can use, i will have to check when i am at my other house later in the week. I need to spend a day rummaging through my parts but off the top of my head i have…

I’m sure there is a lot more but im getting lazy. Ill keep going periodically

LOL you have that beautiful A2T, why would you need anything else?
Jeez, who needs more than one bike anyway? Not like you can ride them all at once Hehe

My new rule is for every new frame I get, I need to sell two. So far my proflex 855 and LTS are first on my list to sell

Well the XX was someone else…I bought mine in like October of ’09. For some reason I think someone on the forum did win it though but I’m not positive

Guilty. Setting it up for the Mrs- i have a pretty good build together so far. I bid 180 and was pleasantly surprised when i got the alert that it closed for 60.05

First bike purchase i’ve made in the last few weeks. Wisdom teeth came in partly but not enough room, i’ve been dying…I’ve checked in from time to time but haven’t even logged on here for a couple weeks.
