DREAM BUILD FIXED GEAR - 1992 Cannondale Track

[@CornerBalanced]

New Build video is out if you want to see the Bigger, Badder Brother to this Cannondale Track: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJjXqXp-hMuleNk

[@R31Mark]

@Corner Balanced- what do you do for a living bro? Do you own a bike shop? You should do a Q&A video someday :)

im not jealous about the bike, im jealous about all the wonderful tools to build

Nothing you can’t do with the right vise grips and a hammer

You know you’re obsessed with bikes when you come home from a shift as a mechanic at a bike shop, and start watching dream build videos on KZbin. Doing custom builds is my favourite part of the job. I love the process of taking it from a bare frame to a complete bike, and seeing the customer’s reaction when they see their dream bike built up for the first time. Never gets old.

[@ZachGallardo]

Bike goals right here 🔥

How many Fixie Points...?

Im sure you'll be seeing this around sac once you start riding again

my dad made me one of those bikes, god i love it sm its got neon green tires and wheels while the rest is green, and trust me its smooth like butter

[@kymanifrancis6204]

I have a bike too so you

[@andrewr.786]

I love the effort put into getting the accurate parts to complete this build. This also really made me miss my favorite part of the shop, doing custom build work at a comfortable pace to make sure everything is perfect. A great mechanic asmr video!

[@CornerBalanced]

so much room for activities

[@eddyplayz8654]

Props to him for building this sick bike. This deserves WAY more views

[@bigbadstretch13yrago]

Did you notice when old mate put his drive side crank on? I always, without fail, check each of the four crank position that a square taper BB offers. It is a pain to remove the crank those few times, but very much worth it in my opinion. The reason for this is that tolerances of BB’s and cranks aren’t always perfect. I mount the crank at each position and each time spin the crank and check from the rear for side to side wobble of the chain ring, (or chain ring arms) as one of the positions will be noticeably straighter than the rest. This can help get your shifting nice and crispy on a geared bike, and help with chain wear and potential dropped chains on a track/fixed/single speed. I know it’s a little pedantic, but I love perfection, and this is so very near to it. It’s an absolutely beautiful bike👌

[@alphabarbs]

not sure if this is a bike build shop, or an establishment for people with a particular fetish...

[@Ackyls]

Got to love watching people who truly care about the quality of work they put out ..shows how much passion they have for what they do..very refreshing to see.

[@shapuliin]

Miss the toe clips and a drop bar for a straight oldie track bike

[@henrygee7809]

I was thinking the same. just needs some good ol' track drops

[@jmartin9865]

This was so satisfying to watch. I used to work in a shop years ago and now I wanna quit my desk jockey job and wrench on bikes all day!

[@jimsterrett8214]

I remember when Cannondale bikes came out and us purists laughed at the huge tubes. Now it is truly a classic.

[@theunknown2222]

Came for the bike and realised how clean that garage is 👌🏻 everything about this video is sexy, tidy and professional

[@MarcoRuschkowski]

These mid 90s Canondales are so pretty. They are just the archetype of what a bike looks like. No extras, no flourish, no gimmick. Just what is needed and that´s enough. And because of that these tings are so hard to get and if you find one, they are pricy.

[@marceloreis131]

This bike mechanics is so clean and organized that could work as professional restaurant too. Respect from Brazil

[@tricksonafixed]

I had this similar experience when I built up my 61cm 98' GT GTB. I begrudgingly sold it to cover the remainder of my rent after getting laid off. Hurts so bad to have lost my dream frame but whatever. Super chill video!

[@chicodiflora]

Think it deserves some dropbars! Nice video!

[@martinlilja7280]

Really nice video and build (if you don't look at the handlebars...)!

[@jerryjin3427]

I really liked how you pay attention to details and doing the best you can to not scratch the frame: placing a matte under the frame when it’s on the table, putting a rag between the clamp and the frame, etc. I wish my local bike mechanics have even half of your caring!

[@Knautschfriese]

That assembly was a piece of art, and quite meditating :-)

[@kukulkanmendez2356]

12:20 the sound of satisfaction

[@matthay8215]

Mate thank you, so many of these 'dream builds' with absolute bs bikes. Each to their own n that, but you're the only one who got it right 👍

[@caluzzucarrazzi5549]

I come back and watch this build every couple months, it is to me the most perfect dream track build out there, those fuckin pianni wheels, god UHDAMN

Paused to comment about the gigantic cog. Seriously though, I can't wrap my head around how those cranks are in such immaculate condition.

[@maxschuhmacher8939]

that´s one of the most beautiful track bikes i have seen!

[@ihxE.]

Not a fan of fixed gears, but I can respect the build. Great job!

[@JK-qj9qp]

What’s wrong with fixed ⚙️?

[@ihxE.]

@@JK-qj9qp No point to limit yourself to a single gear, if you do want a workout or whatever one can just simply leave it in a gear you want until your workout is over. Yes the bike looks clean and simple, but I see it as the equivalent of having a 6 speed car, and just using one gear to do everything. I guess I would only own a fixed gear bike if I were doing track cycling.

[@hidde50]

@@ihxE. I ride alot of fixedgear and for me its the feeling of being connected with the bike. Its really a 1 to 1 the bike does something and likewise the other way around. And you get the feeling of foating when you're at the exact right speeds that i dont get on my roadbike.

[@chrisdaigle5410]

Well, you could cut and face the headset and bottom bracket to make sure they are perfect, then loose ball those bearings and actually torque bolts instead of just winging it.

[@fedor5664]

Chris Daigle what's the point of torquing every single bolt? I work on cars and exhaust clamps probably have a torque rating but to much time is wasted by searching that up and then setting the torque wrench so tight it tight, wheel nuts/bolts is a totally different story because if a wheel falls of your not gonna have a fun time and wheel bolt torque specs are easier to find than a exhaust clamp

[@chrisdaigle5410]

@@fedor5664 The lighter components on the bike are VERY sensitive to torque and expensive parts can break, costing a lot of money. Even cheap parts can easily get damaged by over torque of bolts.

[@JadeWisdom]

@@chrisdaigle5410 I agree there might be some more precise ways than this guys methods, but not only do I think this guy has probably built 10,000 bikes, there's also something oddly satisfying about going by feel. Its very, pure

Great bike, I’ve owned a few in the 90s. Even had one built by Cannondale for Paul Swift when he raced for them. The stock frames weren’t stiff enough!! Talk about a great sprint bike. Wish I had one now... FTR, building one up with a flat bar is blasphemous.
