Barracuda A2V 94' Vintage Custom Built - $800
I am selling my Custom built Original A2V. It was built in the winter and spring of 94'/95'. The bike built from Barracuda was bought by a friend who worked at a bike shop, he wanted the component package (shimano xt) and fork, which I recall was a Manitou. I wanted the nice light steel frame. I have some misc. parts and a tool that are included with the bike.
Extras; 12x26 NOS Suntour cassette, Suntour Grease Guard rear Hub for parts or rebuild, Original Suntour rear Q.R., grease gun for Grease Guard Hubs, medium spring for AMP F3 XC, NOS AMP Top cap/spacer/crown race, 3 TNT NOS Chainring bolts, original nuts and hub washers, mounting bolts and spacers for BB7 caliper, 2 NOS Suntour Derailleur Pulleys.

I rode this Bike hard for about 4 years, and then sporadically till 2008, when I built a full suspension rig. I am 5'10" 160lbs. This is a great trail bike, light, nimble, and fun. I would still ride it if not for a bad back, I need more suspension than the F3 provides. This bike has a couple of custom, perhaps unique features, one being the double compound bent rear brake routing noodle, the original design took the cable through a plastic sleeve inserted in the seat tube eyelet. The other is a plate which allows the mounting of a Avid BB7 caliper on the AMP Fork with a 160mm rotor. The shifter cables are Gore Ride On's. I have a link to quite a few pictures and plan on taking more. I would be happy to take any specific photos as requested. A few parts have been replaced over the years, both rims, rear hub, the original Suntour Grease Guard pedals, chainrings and cassettes. I just completed a complete overhaul of the bike. All part were broken down completely, cleaned, inspected, lubed and reassembled.I also have many of the original manual and some receipts from the build. It is ready to ride.
Thanks for looking
