Here’s an excerpt from my interview with Frank (the welder) Waddleton. Mentioned, are the green/white A2X frames:FW: I remember building a bunch of bikes for a a couple of racers, one was Lisa Muhich who was the national cyclocross champion. I remember they wanted a strong womens team and most of the bikes we built were smaller ones. I remember now that Tom Teasdale built one or two prototypes and they (I can’t remember their names) brought them by Yeti. I think they used wing strut tubes that were nearly flat. I think they also didn’t want a chainstay bridge. They must have made some arrangement with JP (my boss, yeti owner) and I was allowed to make some changes and make the frames. I am pretty sure they were Tange prestige with a profiled downtube. The seat stays were very small diameter tube also. I think they were white and forest green. They came out pretty well.

Going to be a SWEET ride!My frame is sitting in my basement, as it has been since I received it, with a little thought now and then to building it up. I’ve got a small collection of parts but many won’t make this build. I have a period-correct Scott Unishock in white, but unfortunately, the steerer is much too short for my 19″..

And I thought I had it rough!I’m online less often I think, but I’m also working a full-time day job, in addition to shooting photography part-time and now I’m art director for a big magazine. Thank god I’ve got myself a GREAT team of moderators on a kick-ass Barracuda site!

Love this story!Sure, my first initial thought was “Damn, wish I had that”. But then again, I think the story and the pictures are worth more in the long run. Preserving the Barracuda legacy and capturing the stories of the fans who are on the hunt for these items and the Barracuda swag that remains is truly priceless!

Yep, this photo has it all!Great post.
I’d much rather have the seatpost crack than the headtube crack. I mean, you can always go out and get yourself a seatpost binder that sits on the outside of the tube like some bikes have..- June 24, 2013 at 12:36 pm

A few of us have come across these older frames. Does yours have a number stamped into one of the rear drop-outs?Mine is a large and came out of a bike shop which got them when the company went under. It’s the same paint scheme and build. There are a few small variants of the story..

Barracuda decals over that solid colour will definitely look interesting!

Great picture and even better behind-the-scenes story!- June 24, 2013 at 12:11 pm

I’d say that’s likely; fewer sponsors would likely denote an earlier Jersey.- February 18, 2013 at 5:38 pm

- in reply to: Does anyone know what this person is talking about?
Again, I’ve received an email from this individual, who declined to provide a VALID email address, so that I may respond to the request due to a few questions I have.Let me make myself perfectly clear: I do not, and will not, delete any posts on the forum from someone who simply claims to be the owner of items in a picture that’s been posted to the forum. Not to mention, said picture was posted by another party, not the person who is contacting me. Finally, if I am to assume said property does in fact belong to the individual making the claim, I have every right to keep said image online now, because if all claims are true, then the purported owner posted it to a public website in the first place. That’s legally defined as “fair use” in black letter law.
I also find it ludicrous and spiteful that he/she wishes it removed, when all we’re talking about is an image of a bike leaning against a wall.
I’m sure this is going to piss this individual off in a big way, but I’m simply taking this as serious as he/she is. If it means this much, they can have a lawyer send me a cease & desist letter, which I will post here in the place of the original post.

Assuming quality is good, and colour is a close enough match to what we’re looking for, I’m definitely in. Just let me know details.
