Barracuda A2 Limited

Okay, I just got my new shifter in the mail today. I installed the shifter, was all excited to ride the bike again, and headed out to the driveway to test it. The *$^(@^ thing broke off again, in the same exact spot! Not even 5 minutes of riding. :evil: Is this a common problem on Deore LX? Aghhhh..

Which shifter keeps breaking? Left or right??

 

[David633]

The right side.

The old Deore shifters you're dealing with were pretty durable. Might be a problem in the cable or rear der (something binding somewhere). Too short of a chain can put a lot of stress on that shifter too, although it's pretty unusual to have 2 fail in a row.

Great find for $20! This bike looked so good back in 93 that they chose the paint scheme on the 95 team bikes.

Love the condition it's in..

To answer your original question... this was truly a limited production bike. It was used for a lot of promotions. If I can dig my dealer catalogs out of storage, I'll pass along more information. From the photos, everything looks original to me. congrats....
