    Barracuda Bronx

    alas this is after barracuda got sold. the frame isn't as good as it looks, it's geometry was all wrong for what it was trying to be. by this point you'd find them sold in sports direct or similar. not a completely hateful thing but not for me.

    What length riser stem do I need?

    or paint the recess, let dry then use 3000 grit to remove the paint from the surrounding area and polish the original paint back to normal. not Suntour cranks, SR Suntour. they aren't crap manufacturers as such, they have a lot of reasonably nice mid range stuff (I like their top end forks)...
