I want to let go of my 56cm Cannondale Track in pristine condition, its way too big for me. Its the instantly recognizable blue w/ the suntour group and nitto stem, bars, seatpost.

Let me know if you're interested because I would like it keep it in the GTA.

Hrm, nice, you could probably score a pretty penny for it on CL.

What is the standover height?

Where do you keep finding these gems (thinking of the Cyclops as well)?!

Cannondale Track 56cm in Pristine condition. minimal scratches no dents or dings whatsoever.
It came from a velodrome in alberta so I don't think it's ever seen the streets.

- Suntour superbe pro drivetrain and headset.
- Nitto seatpost and 5 gold saddle
- Cinelli pista stem and bars.

Greetings from San Francisco!



Haven't been able to see the whole bridge yet, covered in fog.

But as soon as I get into the city it's sunny and feels like summer, microclimates are strange!

Does anyone know anyone who rides a GT track frame with black deep vs, etc. my buddy just stole it back from a sketchy dude trying to sell it on the street... The cops are there and I guess they are taking it but he wants to try to find out who it might belong to...

Weird, sounds like mine but I was just out on it and it is now locked up to a 400lb radiator. Nice that the cops are there...post the information/police division up on CL?

sr20det, that C-dale is crazy nice, there was one on ebay that went for a little over $2K a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't as nice as yours. It was discussed in the ebay thread; way overpriced obviously, but it shows what craziness can happen on ebay with a good description and some nice pictures.

Posted on CL - he felt like the cops were being sketchy too so he talked them into letting him hold onto it and trying to find the owners... So, if you've got a friend who had theirs stolen tell them to get in touch with me with a detailed component list and he'll give up the bike.

He said the guy tried to sell it to him for $30 and he eventually just said **** it and grabbed it when the guy turned his back...

I'll take the jerseys, a saddle, and maybe the camelback if they're still available.

**** i hate riding in toronto sometimes
i was riding pretty hard on the way across today (late for work)
and on college, just east of spadina there is a cop car parked in the bike lane in front of bk
so i'm planning how i'm going to get around it with traffic
AND THENthis car goes from the middle lane (in the middle of the intersection) to the curb right at the crosswalk, cuts me off and stops behind the cop car
the cops dont say a ****ing thing to the guy
the girl that this car was picking up says "sorry" when i just say jesus as i'm riding byif i didnt lay on the brake and do a skid at the same time i would have went through the guys back ****ing window and the cops dont say a word standing right there.

and then the same car pulls a right hook (and misses me by about 10 feet as i again slam on the brakes) at Beverley. the guy had a "baby on board" sign, and a < 2 year old in the car.

Bikes and people who ride them are a nuisance. Grow up and get a car.
