Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

They were squared and cut up so badly that when unmounted, the contact surface of the tire looked like freddy krueger's face when the sidewalls were squeezed together.


Broke even when I had a new gatorskin die to a sidewall ala achille's heel rip just 1 and a half weeks in.
Ha, I didn't even know ultra's were a thing, I thought the guy was just throwing adjectives in for the hell of it. I stand corrected then...I've never had such luck. I get flats no matter what tires I run. I've just accepted that as fact.

This one is killing me as it's my size and even though I get paid on friday, that money is deadlocked for my rent. Curses, adult responsibilities.

What do you guys think of this for $350? Just last night I spend $200 on a new saddle, bars, and few other parts to turn my Fuji into a townie/tourist style. I am wondering if I should have just spent a little more and got a whole bike out of it (assuming it would fit)

Ditto. I definitely would not feel comfortable buying from someone who has no clue what they're talking about.

It's pretty hot, the owner did a nice job on the build. I never knew Cannondale built a frame with non-cantilever centerpulls in mind, but apparently this one was.

I didn't either but he does say it's a touring frame so that kind of makes sense

That's not a track 3.0, it's its less cared about sibling the optimo.
Looks like a beater that's seen its fair share of being thrown around, I would proceed with caution in the case that some stickers are covering up the truth.
