Bikes: A few too many

For the track forks I did some cut outs around the radius where the axle sat so I did not disturb the original geometry . I have a C&V mini lathe with a milling attachment so making the "forks" was doable . Next was to make some hacksaw cuts to the seat and chain stays , they folded together perfect on a 120 mm spacer. The paint is Krylon Blue Foil , decals by VeloCals . Like I said most everything was in my BOC so down the line I want to change a few things , namely the wheels I think all black will look better . Here it is my Cannondale "track" . (not really a track) .

Best, Ben
