Barracuda Bronx

Been keeping an eye on Gumtree in case something comes up to help identify my bike. Had to share this one?
Maybe @novocaine would like it for your collection?

The frame looks good, the components not so much, only £50 though.

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.

I've just seen another Barracuda with a Kronos branded stem, so I guess these parts are Barracuda OEM.
What happened to the brand? It doesn't appear on the Sports Direct Wikipedia page, but I think Moore & Large went into administration 2022/23
