The original owner might have been the one after years of the old girl laying around thinking it might be cool to change it …remember I thought for a brief moment about cutting parts off the Specialized with making it a single speed, then reason took hold and realized it would have no other life!

Can you say WASTED FRAME, that thing died and went to the great mountain in the sky !

A early team frame…Yea, just a bit jealous

This may sound stupid to ask Mark, but do you just want first generation Cuda ? There are a few second generation like mine in the group, do you want the numbers off them as well…I know they are not look upon the same way so not sure.

I hope you get to see the ass riding the WHOLE bike, with it being lock I fear it was not a grab and go idiot but somebody that knew what they were doing which would mean that bike has become many with the parts spread around. I would like to say GREAT about your job yet from your write up here and on Fb you do not seem so sure that the idea is good, so not sure how to reply….I do hope things melt into a workable situation for you guys,enjoy the time you do get and maybe think of it as a foot in the door toward something better that will work for the both of you….Cheers

Be happy and enjoy the old NEW ride D ! Oh yea, enjoy your own build time as well,time to make little changes if you had any complaint with the first version .

That Ds2 does not state how long the steer tube is so you would need to ask plus they wrote it is a threaded steerer so if you plan on a threadless it might not work unless it is so long you could cut that part off. I Even if you want the threaded you would still need to check the length that you need. The only way you could go a little newer is with a fork like mine where you can adjust the travel somewhat, mine can do 63 to 80 mm travel .

So you are the tall person, GLAD to have you here among the Cuda Heads. At the beginning of your intro I had the feeling you weren’t a die hard Cuda fan but after the first one bought to be a beater you grab two more….that screams loud CUDA HEAD. By the way I love my Ross era Cuda, the braze on’s work out nicer with V-brakes, but one day I would like to pick up a early steel frame to make a single speed out of it. As said GLAD to have you and hope to hear from you much more…enjoy the Cuda build and the rolling ones as well !
