So, here's something you don't come across very often......a lovely factory stock 1995 Barracuda A2RS (That's the Barracuda Bike Company of Durango Colorado not the crap BSOs you can buy in Tesco online!)
This was from the last year of manufacture before the Ross buy out. This one actually originates from a shop in Durango too and came complete with the brakes wired up the wrong way
.
Size 14" (C-T) 12.5" (C-C) - Perfect wife/gf or kid size
Good bits:
Seems to be totally stock with the Manitou Comp option instead of Rockshox.
Everything has been stripped and cleaned, all cable inners replaced, new Shimano UN52 bottom bracket and new original spec gripshift grips. Shows very little wear to any of the components.
Smoke and Dart II are in excellent condition with loads and loads of tread
The not quite as good bits:
The Manitous go up and down, I have had them apart and can confirm all clean and shiny inside. I replaced one disintegrated top out elastomer with one I had spare however they will need new main elastomers/springs to bring them back to full functionality.
The frame had a couple of small rust spots which I knew about before buying it. What I hadn't expected is the seller painting over the spots rather haphazardly with touch up paint the morning I picked it up! ... some people! :roll:
SOLDLooking for £110SOLD (pp friends or add 5% for fees) plus postage to where you are. I maybe able to deliver locally (SO or PO postcodes) or you are welcome to pick up and I'll bung the kettle on.
