One of a Kind

You've seen plenty of Cannondale tracks, so here's something a bit different.

This is a size 56 CAAD10 Black Inc. The silver-green CAAD10 Track looks great, but it's become pretty common (and my obsession with part scarcity kicked in). I remembered I had this frameset lying around, so I decided to build something truly unique.

At first, I tried all sorts of ideas—calculating chain length, using an eccentric bottom bracket—but nothing really clicked. Then, during a late-night phone call with my friend @CatKai_Zero7, he mentioned eccentric hubs. That was the lightbulb moment.

But finding one wasn't easy. I searched around and asked many shops—no luck, not even a used 130mm hub. Eventually, I managed to get a brand new one from the always-resourceful "Island Master." Huge thanks to him.
