DREAM BUILD FIXED GEAR - 1992 Cannondale Track

It took me over 5 years to find and acquire this 56cm 1992 Cannondale Track Glacier Blue frame and fork, in its size and condition, and then another full year after that to amass the right parts to perform this build - and capture it all on film! The unwavering goal from the beginning was to stay faithful and period correct to its vintage, while keeping the quality cranked all the way up.
But this is what it's all about! My interests diversify beyond just cars and I hope to steadily share them with you. Many of the same resourcefulness and dedication cross over from the car world into an even more pressure cooked fashion. In addition to the frame being hard to find, the Suntour groupset is circa the mid-80's and in NOS or near NOS condition! These are all things that can't be picked off the shelf and must be slowly sourced and collected first.
In my eyes, the stripped down simplicity and the geometry of a proper Track bike is the most beautiful... and the original Cannondale Track sits as the consummate icon.

You know you’re obsessed with bikes when you come home from a shift as a mechanic at a bike shop, and start watching dream build videos on KZfaq. Doing custom builds is my favourite part of the job. I love the process of taking it from a bare frame to a complete bike, and seeing the customer’s reaction when they see their dream bike built up for the first time. Never gets old.

Did you notice when old mate put his drive side crank on? I always, without fail, check each of the four crank position that a square taper BB offers. It is a pain to remove the crank those few times, but very much worth it in my opinion. The reason for this is that tolerances of BB’s and cranks aren’t always perfect. I mount the crank at each position and each time spin the crank and check from the rear for side to side wobble of the chain ring, (or chain ring arms) as one of the positions will be noticeably straighter than the rest. This can help get your shifting nice and crispy on a geared bike, and help with chain wear and potential dropped chains on a track/fixed/single speed. I know it’s a little pedantic, but I love perfection, and this is so very near to it. It’s an absolutely beautiful bike👌

Chris Daigle what's the point of torquing every single bolt?
