    It is because Mark bought them all.. 🙄

    LOL

    You’re right though, there was a surge of XX’s and A2X’s last summer. Perhaps we’ll see some again when the weather warms up a tad..

    Yeah, I’m tempted, but can’t at the moment, I need blue or red and will hold out for original ano.

    Yep, I found it to be sub-par in 2 areas:
    1. Chips easier
    2. Color choices weren’t as good. They took the deep, candy gold color on the A2X and replaced it with a mustard yellow??? They mated that up with silver instead of the arctic white???

    Just a couple of reasons the brand tanked after Ross invested good money in it.

    That’s quite an impressive collection! Your 95 Comp takes me back.. Loved that stiff ride! Yours is the only other 97 XXTeam I’ve run across. I got mine off ebay, where did you find yours at?

    Yep, anyone who contributes to the site will end up with a Contributor rank. I’m actually implementing the site so that a person can have multiple ranks, just not there quite yet..

    I think the rule I’d use is: If you don’t mind letting your Mom see what you’ve posted, it’s fine. If not, it’ll likely get removed.

    In order to be banned, you’d have to really get on my nerves. :)

    All mine are 18″, sorry! :)

    The bikes chart isn’t 100% confirmed in 1993 and 1992, but 1994 and 1995 are complete.

    The colours can look different in different lighting, so I wouldn’t make a decision solely based on a picture. Perhaps we’ll put this to rest when I get my hands on the 1993 catalog. :)

    Good deal on this one..

    I agree with you both, a $600 A2T would have been an unbelievable deal, unless it was a return or (like my COMP), stolen and then recovered. Either way, there’s a big question mark as to whether this was the bike or not, but I think it was the only frame in that colour in 1994.

    The 1995 A2M is similar, but it’s a newer aluminum frame. It’s Kinesis 7005, the same as the frame that Manbeer is selling, so you can always respray it, turn it into the A2M and get that paint colour you liked originally..

    The only one I can think of that was turquoise was the A2T. Here’s a pic of an older one, like a 94 (the advert) and a newer 95 one. Same paint scheme..
