Cannondale - Major Taylor Edition - Track Bike
with Upgrades
This bike was given to me as a gift but I now (reluctantly) need to sell it. While I have not ridden it in many years, when I did, I rode it fixed and on the road, it was my \"secret training\" bike! I sincere enjoyed riding it and the incredible results it produced! It made me stronger to keep up with the young bucks, but mostly, it improved my form! Because I rode it on the road, and because of my age, I introduced the brakes you see in the photographs, but it could be easily restored to its former brakeless glory. The Cane Creek wheels I introduced because I loved thelook of them, and they provided tremendous stiffness and as a result speed. I thoroughlyenjoyed this bike and I hope that whomever gets it will experience the same joy it brought me.
This bike is a Classic and is in excellent condition. Normal Wear & Tear: Minor Cosmetic Things: minor scratches: crank arm and other.
You can flip/flop the rear wheel,single speed or fixed sprocket. I rode fixed, but there is a single speed on the other side and you can flip it for your preference.
It does not come with the seat and pedals, but everything else is yours!
