Yes I know Barracuda. I had an A2R frame GIVEN to me a few years ago by the mgr friend of an LBS. My son uses it as a winter commuter now. He bought an A2Z frame for cheap when he worked at said LBS. It's his wife's winter beater now. Interesting tubeset; nice welds; nice enough old-school. But, c'mon, get real - - it's yard sale fodder now. Don't get your panties in such a bunch over the sad truth.
As far as the Yeti connection: I believe Frank the Welder was involved in Barracuda before he went to Yeti.
