I've been riding track bikes for a few years now, so I decided to give something different a try. The goal was just a bike that would be easy to ride around the city; light weight, no special shoes, fatter tires for comfort and less flats too. I came across this Cannondale and decided I liked it for this project, so here we are:

Hightlights are singlespeed conversion of course (using the Gusset spacer kit because it looks pretty), Performance "Slick City" tires that were on sale for $7 each, flipped the stem and took six inches off the bars, switched out the huge seat it came with, removed as much junk as I could to make it lighter. Not a big deal I guess but I had fun setting it up.
