Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - CANNONDALE track bike colors / years ?

Hey!

I'm interested to know the chronological order of Cannondale's track bikes. You have the blue one, the green one, the plain one and I just saw a black one on eBay.

When were they produced?

Anyone else think the new ones are ugly & too expensive?

New ones have too mnany decals. My favourite is still the silver/chrome one - that one guy rides in Chicago as a Potbelly's messenger - he's got a beautiful one.

I just saw that one on eBay, it was beat up & went for close to $400 for the just the frame.

The blue ones and green ones were made in the 90s(mid to late I think). This is just an observation but most of the blue ones I've seen tend to be larger sizes and the green ones are smaller sizes. I think the polished ones were made a little later, maybe late 90s, and there don't seem to be many of them around. The newer ones have only been around for a couple years, and yeah, I think it would benefit from a simpler paintjob/not so many stickers. Have only heard about the black "messenger" frame...

I have a blue one and love it. However there's no way I'd spend four bills on a beat up used one, aluminum just doesn't last that long.

Plenty of info and pics on the messenger frameset here:

definatley, recent cannondale track bikes are horrific!
I had late 90s (blue) for a while and got rid of it, stretched aluminum feels like craps and dents waaaay too easily

Blue frames came out first in the early 90's (92-93) time frame it was set up with Suntour Suprepe Pro Group and 32 hole tubular rims . All others are after and some came with thinner oversize tubing not like the Blue frames.

S/F,
CEYA!

Thanks for all the info!

But the black Cannondale track bike that I saw on eBay was here:

It looks like the older ones but it's black with red letters. Nice!!

That is the old frame, my guess is someone repainted it and got new decals.

damn, that black frame is hot. i should do that to my blue one, it's getting pretty scuffed up...
