This is my very first bike, back in my hands after 25 yrs...
It's a Ross Barracuda 16. I don't know much about it, other than it was passed down to me at about age 4 from my cousin, 4 yrs my senior. This was what I learned on & rode untill I turned 7 in '82 & my folks bought me a new black & gold Huffy BMX. That bike was sold to a neighbor 20 yrs ago, but this one's been sitting in my folks garage loft since Reagan's 1st term. Some air in the tires & it's back on the road! I've since polished it up & the chrome looks pretty good--try that w/one of those Chinese Wallyworld bikes in a couple of decades!
It think I know where my fixation on cantiliever frames & apehangers started...
Anybody know anything about this bike or Ross bikes in general?
