Cannondale SystemFix(ie)
Stolen from FGG: https://fixedgeargallery.com/2007/may...iahJohnson.htm
Cannondale SystemSix converted to fixie. I don't know how I feel about turning such a high end roadie into a fixie, but it is DAAAAMN fine with the blue/carbon and black anodized Hollowgram cranks:

I guess conversion is the wrong word. The guy works for Cannondale, so it was a one-off custom project.

And I would guess those are the Hollowgram SL cranks that will be on the SuperSIX. That is one sweet ass bike.

He's pushing 53x16 on that thing, so I'm sure the beefy headtube junction comes in handy when he's really givin' it.

I don't really dig it aesthetically. Dude needs to raise the nose on the saddle too. It's probably a really great riding track bike though.
