Cannondale TARCK 1000

Yes, you read the title correctly, Cannondale is remaking their classic track bike and calling it the TARCK 1000. What a bummer.

Yes, I stole this image from our buddy Prolly:



No, I won't link to his site.

I'm hoping it's a joke.

I'm sure it works mechanically, I just mean a lugged steel, flat-crown looks a little out of place on a smooth aluminum frame.
