It must be a wife thing to stop us from doing what we want all the time, my cuda team I just got is still in the shipping box as I have to finish the work on our house so we can move in before I can use it

You’re crazy if you think I’m going to say anything aside from loving sweetness about my wife! Cudawives are crafty… for all I know, Mrs. Cometdata wrote the above comment, just baiting us to open out mouths… so we can insert a foot! All I’m going to say is that my wife is an angel who puts up with a lot, I’m very lucky!!!

Aw man, I wish I could see it and clean it up… I’d gladly post pictures! The problem is it’s not here yet and the seller didn’t provide me with a tracking number… I’m flyin’ blind! I will post pics whenever the brown truck brings my box…

C’mon now MIX, just cuz you’re the “modfather” doesn’t mean you have to forget your past…
Remember this one? When Mark (The Grand Poobah), you, and I were drinkin’ by your work… and Sithlord showed up just in time to catch you relaxin’ in the bushes after tossin’ back a few? “Good times, noodle salad!” is what I think you said after reclining into your horizontal position.

p.s. Boy, Mark has a stiff edge to his drinkin’ style!!!

Ha-ha-ha ๐ that’s awesome and too funny at the same time… the idea that my wife would allow this to happen is beyond delicious! Cometdata, thank you for believing in me but if I pulled the trigger on that A2X, I’d have to move to Austin and move in with Mixalive and I don’t think any of his family want any of that drunken mess at the door!!!
MIXALIVE… C’MON MAN, OPEN THE DOOR! MY CUDA IS STUCK IN THE HALL… SEND HELP!!!

God, that hurts my eyes!!!To see the most expensive production Cuda reduced to a grocery getter…
bolt on stem extension… ๐ฏ super high rise handlebars… ๐ that pillowy soft gel seat… it’s simply awful to look at in that condition!!! There is no way the seller is the original owner! The person that dropped three grand on this Cuda did not turn it into that mess, no way! ๐ฎ it’s just shocking and I want to rescue it from its sad life!C’mon, lets all pitch in a few bucks and we’ll buy it, something of a community project. It wouldn’t take much to return it to race ready shape!

Yes, that is a rare bike but that’s because after Ross bought Barracuda in 1996, they put almost no effort into a race team or any other form of competition. I have to say, that Cuda does look to be a rebadged Norco VPS1.http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1998&Brand=Norco&Model=VPS-1&Type=bike
My buddy raced a VPS1, can you say Sherman Tank? Seriously, I think his weighed 46 pounds with the same Bullet Brothers ZZYZX fork that is pictured on the Cuda.

Even if the bike didn’t have the XX Team history behind it, I would still keep it rigid until pee-wee was a little older. She is a daredevil, I’m going to have to ease her into trail riding with 26″ wheels. Along that same line, I’m going without a front derailleur for now, again it’s just one less thing to complicate matters. I’m a huge fan of 1x_ gearing, I think I’ll probably build up this Cuda with a 1×8 drivetrain. I’m finishing up the final details on the 1×9 96’er (aka 69’er)… it has a Rick Hunter fillet brazed 29’er disc fork, all XTR drivetrain, PAUL Thumbie with a Dura Ace thumb shifter, PAUL Cross levers, PAUL Neo-Retro rear canti brake with Avid BB7 disc brake up front (not pictured), and various little cool bits to complete the build. I’m having my buddy at my LBS build me a custom 29″ front wheel with a WTB hoop and a NOS REAL disc hub. All I need is the chain and cables and I’m good to go. I will post pics of the completed bike in the Off-Topic section soon.
