    Yep, that’s a Ross-built cuda, but an A2E is a great frame! Nice to know you budgeted well on the build; $2.00 loss is nothing.. at least you enjoyed the build. :)

    If it were me, I’d not race the A2L. Primary reason, it’s too heavy. Secondary reason, I’d want to keep it safe and restore it back to stock.. But that’s me. :)

    If nobody has the post diameter available, I should be able to dig it up..

    Welcome, Will!

    Glad to see that you found an XX. Please post some pics of the build as it happens! That keeps a lot of us coming back.. :)

    Wow, nice rides, guys! Loving the Merlin.. That’s one of only 2 bikes I’ve always dreamed of owning, other than my A2X, that is..

    This is definitely a 95/96. Made in Durango, CO.

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

    Looks like an A2M, the coloring on an A2X would be either forest green or yellow in the rear..

    This just a sick bike!

    For me also, this was the bike that caught my attention and got me drooling. I’ll be building up mine in the spring!

    That’s a radical looking Ross-made rig. Probably their best downhill bike at the time..

    I’ve never been a fan of the composite wheels, myself. I wish they had dressed it up a bit more like a XC racer than like they did. Also, the frame is green in the rear, but the pic doesn’t do it justice.

    I can’t wait to build up mine!

    Dang! How the heck am I missing all this stuff? :)

    Good job.

    Yeah, I think if you go to a shop that specializes in aluminum, you can get a couple of rings machined, that with the use of a mallet, will slide right over that section of tube. Think of it as the exact opposite of pressing in headset cups. Instead, you’re pressing rings on over the headtube.

    Me, I’d have 100% confidence back with those on.

    Nice find! Someone should snatch that one up..
